Contents   Reviews

The scholarship of T.P. Wiseman on the late Roman Republic is remarkable in combining vivid and detailed historical insight into the social, political and topographical realities of that period with a sympathetic understanding of late Republican literature, particularly the poetry of Catullus.

Roman Studies contains twenty-eight of his major periodical contributions up to 1983, and published for the first time 'The Masters of Sirmio', which explores the economic, political and literary associations of the great villa on Lake Garda associated with the family of Catullus.

Reviews

Revue des Etudes Latines 65 (1987) 425-7 (Philippe Moreau). "L'ensemble donne une bonne idée des intérêts de M. Wiseman: la fin de la République presque uniquement, mais sous tous ses aspects:littérature, prosopographie, histoire sociale et économique, topographie."

Classical Review 38 (1988) 380-83 (R.G.M. Nisbet). " It remains to emphasise once more the expertise, versatility, and resourcefulness of the author."
