Review Quotes: 'This is a great book by a major Roman social historian that vastly enriches a reading of Apuleius...One of the great joys of this book is Bradley's masterful ability to evoke the sights, sounds, colours, and striking cultural mixtures that constituted this complex world, pieced together with deceptive ease.'
