Reviews and Awards
"Pettinger's rigorous examination of a nearly inscrutable period of Roman history and his willingness to challenge entrenched assumptions and to offer bold reinterpretations make this a refreshing work of scholarship."--Thomas E. Strunk, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Pettinger...provides valuable insight into various conspiracies of the period, which he treats with the attention they merit. The book is well-written, very well-researched and enjoyable to read, whether one agrees with his conclusions or not. He offers an original interpretation of a period we all feel that we 'know', a feat which is noteworthy in and of itself. The study, then, fills an important gap and will hopefully draw greater attention to the period of Augustan succession."--Sanjaya Thakur, Journal of Roman Archaeology
"Pettinger's study contributes significantly and commendably to our understanding of the Augustan Principate and the imperial succession."--Steven Rutledge, Journal of Roman Studies
