  • Roman Portable Sundials. The Empire in Your Hand. Oxford University Press, 2020. 264p. Paperback. It is useful to think of this book as the historical counterpart of what in literary studies would be the first major scholarly edition and commentary on a recently discovered text. Talbert writes (p. xiii): 'My hope is that the book will both enlighten and intrigue readers across disciplines by uncovering a fresh, imaginative vision of the world shared by what might be termed a loose community of Romans.' Mission accomplished. Andrew M. Riggsby, University of Texas at Austin (Publisher's information). € 44.83 (New)  (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780197503669
