"A delightful offering, then, that hopefully will kickstart a new appreciation of space." -- Gary Vos, Classics for all

"This is a valuable contribution to the growing body of scholarship devoted to intersections between Latin literature and Roman space and place. Individually and as a collection, the papers make a compelling case for the incorporation of spatial theory into the philologist's analytical toolkit." -- Carolyn MacDonald, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
