- In 1938, however, this suburb was shown to have been a mirage : Plutarch is commemorating the new prosperity not of a suburb but, as the context suggests, of the other meeting-place of the Amphictyons, Thermopylae. 24 Thus a large part of the new building to which he refers is removed at a blow to Thermopylae, and Hadrian's bene- factions to Delphi become a much weaker reason for construing this passage as a reference to him.

- Outside Italy, only Sicily, Sardinia and two commands in Spain were normally allotted as provinciae for annual magistrates ; and this list was not increased by the famous victories in the Greek East, Cynoscephalae, Thermopylae, Magnesia and Pydna. Roman imperialism is too crude a term for what we can observe between 200 and 151 B.C.

- Ch. 3 focuses on the battle(s) of Thermopylae in 480 and 191 b.c.e . and Alexander's victory at the Persian Gate.

- It was not that the senatorial majority was unwilling to face the serious security threats that existed in the Greek world, threats which D. rightly assesses as real, or that they were unwilling to foster the expansion of Roman interests and influence east of the Adriatic (Cato himself fought at Thermopylae against Antiochus III in 191 b.c.).

- Above rises the acropolis, with its enceinte, often attributed to Theodoric, but certainly of the late Republican period, with the remains of the temple of Jupiter Anxur, from which there is a wonderful view of the sea below and towards Monte Circeo—though this becomes still finer if we follow the original Via Appia over the end of the promontory, passing remains of tombs and villas (including that of Galba), to the so-called Piazza dei Paladini, the narrowest part .of the pass of Lautulae, the Thermopylae

- Tempe, Artemisium and Thermopylae are fully dealt with, with a knowledge of recent controversy. The sketch- map of Herakleia, however, is inadequate, and we should have welcomed a better plan of the whole region. In one respect, perhaps, the author might have done more ; he knows this district well, but makes no mention of a steep path which leads up from behind Herakleia along the west side of the Asopos ravine to Doris by way of Eleutherochori.

- Polly Low deals with commemoration in Sparta, in a case study of the dead from Thermopylae. She debates the rôle of the individual dead and the collective memory of a singular battle in the face of other monuments and burials from the Persian Wars. Jane Rempel recreates a fascinatingly diverse landscape of the dead by examining the range of burial practices in the Boshphoran kingdoms in the fourth to third centuries b.c .

- In a few cases (e.g. on Thermopylae and Heraclea) B.'s topographical remarks would have been easier to follow if a detailed map had been provided. B.'s discussions of the historical problems posed by Livy's text are for the most part admirable, but at times his treatment of historical matters seems to me a shade too terse and dogmatic.
