"Two Romes is an important book, and the chapters are uniformly excellent discussions of their particular topics from the later Roman empire."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"A thoughtful, valuable, and useful introduction to a new field of study. Highly recommended."--CHOICE

"This is an important and welcome volume. Lucy Grig and Gavin Kelly are to be congratulated for commissioning such a lively and challenging collection of papers on Rome and Constantinople, the two great metropoleis of late antiquity. Their comparative approach and forceful arguments bring a new and fresh perspective to the culture, ceremonial and physical development of the two cities, as well as new interpretations of some central sources." --Averil Cameron, University of Oxford

"New, and at times surprisingly provocative, perspectives on the old Rome and its Greek successor, with several contributions destined for classic status." --Michael Kulikowski, Penn State

"Together, these seventeen well-edited entries hence offer promising new approaches to both familiar and less often viewed material and reveal some of the rich insights that can be gained from looking afresh at the two capitals.... Two Romes, then, is a truly enjoyable, informative and inspiring read. It is highly recommended not only to historians of late-antique Rome and Constantinople, but to anyone interested in the history, culture and religion of Late Antiquity."--Muriel Moser, H-Soz-u-Kult

"A thoughtful, valuable, and useful introduction to a new field of study. Highly recommended."--CHOICE

"On the whole this volume represents a significant contribution for the understanding of the role of the two most important cities of the Empire, especially during the fourth and fifth centuries. This valuable and specialized collection is also fluidly written and edited, making it a pleasure to read."--Massimiliano Vitiello, Sehepunkte

"...a phenomenal book. It could have been another boring and dry treatise of Rome in antiquity but rather all of the essays that were included are extremely well and intriguingly written. This book is fluidly written and edited, which made it a very enjoyable read." -- Ancient History Encyclopedia
