Review of the hardback: 'Morstein-Marx has written an excellent book, notable for the depth both of its scholarship and of its thought. It should be read not only by all students of the late Republic or of Roman oratory, but also of ancient politics and political theory more generally.' BMCR
Review of the hardback: '… an excellent study on late Republican politics as well as a work that offers plenty of new and stimulating insights into Roman rhetoric. Not only should specialists of ancient history and classicists in general refer to this book, but it will surely also appeal to anyone interested in the history of rhetoric.' Rhetorical Review
Review of the hardback: 'After decades of relative neglect the Roman contio has now become the focus of an intense debate about the people's role in Republican politics. This new study by Morstein-Marx represents the fullest and most ambitious treatment of the institution so far. It is a provocative and stimulating work which offers important new insights into the nature of Roman politics. The scholarship is impressive and the analysis often profound.' Journal of Roman Studies
