TEITLES: Ammianus and Constantius. Image and reality (pp.117-123). 'The editors, in oly 130 pages, have turned out a very fine introcution to all aspects of the 'Res Gestae' of Ammianus Marcellinus. (...) the topics cover the whole spectrum of current work on Ammianus. (...) I found all the papers to be thoughtful and of the highest quality. (...) This little book would be of interest not only to any advanced scholars of late Roman history, but also to graduate students who might need a good introduction in this fine Roman historian.'
