Book Review: T.P. Wiseman, Roman Drama and Roman History

When I googled – without success – for Syme's lecture on historical fiction last week, I came across a review of T.P. Wiseman's Roman Drama and Roman History (Exeter Studies in History). Scholia Reviews.

I then remembered that I do have the book in my library. It's an interesting read, as the above review and overview indicates. Some of us will remember Wiseman from our recent discussion of his Catullus and his World : A Reappraisal. Wiseman's writing is always clear, and in the above book, he is often quite amusing to boot.
