Review

"An important book. Bloomer for the first time in English places Valerius Maximus in his cultural, literary, and educational milieu."--T. James Luce, Jr., Princeton University

"In this sympathetic, lucid re-evaluation, Bloomer gives meaning and significance to the work of a Roman author once popular, but long forgotten. The literature, rhetoric, and history of the Late Republic and Early Empire are all illuminated by it."--Richard J. A. Talbert, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"Makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of Valerius within the cultural and social conditions in which he lived. . . . All readers will profit from Bloomer's book, and we should eagerly look forward to his further insights into Roman literature."--"AJP"
