'... an excellent initiative...' Revue des Etudes Juives 'Whatever language he employs, be it English, French or Italian, Rabello writes with a pleasing clarity and an easy authority. Classicists and ancient historians will learn much from the papers collected here about the legal status of the Jews in the Roman empire, a subject that for far too long has remained far too difficult to access.'
