The Neighborhoods of Augustan Rome
"The book is attractively printed and designed, with useful photographs of compital altars, inscribed bases, and maps. Topographers, social, political, and religious historians, and students of Augustan artistic programs will find in Lott's book not only a coherent and well-researched contribution to neighborhood studies, but a source for illuminating discussions on numerous topics touching their specialties."     New England Classical Journal, Peter J. Aicher, University of Southern Maine"...the study contributes to our knowledge of Rome's lower classes, in that Lott gauges the impact of the emperor's reforms on the freedmen and slaves, who, as magistri and ministri vici respectively, typically assumed responsibility for the neighborhoods' cultic and administrative upkeep.  What makes this study particularly useful is Lott's integration of the literary evidence for the vici during Augustus' reign with the comparatively abundant epigraphic and material evidence..."Adam Serfass, Kenyon College"The non-specialist...should derive a tremendous amount of welcome information from the volume." - Marjorie Venit, University of Maryland"The Neighborhoods of Augustan Rome is, nevertheless, an important book...this book should provide an excellent incentive to future research." - Carlos F. Norena, Yale University
