Review Quotes: "Traill successfully pulls together a lot of Plautine scholarship as it relates to a fuller understanding of the Cistellaria, making this a useful companion to the play. Her many end notes lead to the most relevant scholarship and to fascinating websites (that will hopefully remain active). The book is informative and well written." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
