"In a short review of thirteen papers it is not possible to do justice to the many areas explored. Suffice to say a reader would go away with a good idea of current views of Pompeii's economy. They would also have a better understanding of the need to see different aspects of the economy, normally considered in isolation, as a network of practice in the same conceptual landscape. Certainly there are ideas here that could usefully be applied to other sites and the book should help bring Pompeii back into the mainstream of thought on the Roman economy." - H. E. M. Cool, Journal of Roman Studies

"It is a valuable resource for students and scholars already familiar with the site. ... In the end, the volume makes a coherent argument for Pompeii's particular role within the economic and geographical development of Roman Italy at the level of city, region, and supra-regional scales and is a welcome addition to the growing number of scholarly analyses of Pompeii." - Jeffrey D. Veitch, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"The quality of these papers is very high, and the standard is maintained in this latest fascinating 14-paper volume." - Peter Jones, Classics for All
