From the Gracchi to Nero A History of Rome 133 BC to AD 68

'Many things made and make From the Gracchi to Nero a great book: The lengthy chronological table in the front is ideal for study. Scullard's presentation is balanced and unprepossessing. The work breathes an air of confident, competent scholarship, and the extensive notes give a veritable snapshot of a great generation of English scholarship on Rome ...'- John Noël Dillon, University of Exeter, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
