“Buckley and Dinter must be commended for producing a Companion as stimulating as it is wide-ranging.”  (Language & Literature, 1 October 2014)

“All the essays are clear, detailed and relevant… Buckley and Dinter must be commended for producing a Companion as stimulating as it is wide-ranging.”  (Journal of Roman Studies, 17 October 2014)

"This book is a must-have for anyone working on the Neronian Age, but it will also be a valuable asset to those interested in Roman culture more broadly." (Classical Journal, 9 May 2014)

“Many of its essays should become the standard discussions on the topic, whereas others gesture importantly toward future work to be done in the field. Moreover, the clarity of the chapters makes them suitable to be used pedagogically in an advanced undergraduate or graduate course." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 29 February 2014)

“It is very hard to do justice to this excellent addition to the series of Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World. The editors have done a splendid job in selecting and organising the material, together with some helpful cross-referencing within the contributions.”  (Journal of Classics Teaching, 1 June 2013)
