Book Synopsis
The classicist and historian Alan Cameron (1938-2017) was, among other achievements, one of the scholars who most contributed to the refoundation of late-antique studies. In this tribute W. V. Harris and Anne Hunnell Chen have brought together fourteen contributions that cover a broad range of historical, literary, and art-historical topics, running from the first century AD to the ninth. Some contributions concern Cameron’s own favourite themes (the Greek Anthology, the Historia Augusta, circus factions, the transmission of texts), while others seek to assess his work and its impact. Other papers branch out from his concerns to discuss slavery, simony, and hospitals. Fourth- and fifth-century writers are often to the fore and the volume includes a new text by the poet Dioscoros of Aphrodite.

Trade Review
"This is a worthy memorial to one of the greatest scholars of Late Antiquity. While the wide-range of interests on display will probably deter many from buying it for their personal libraries, it certainly deserves a place in the library at any institution where the history and literature of Late Antiquity are taught." David Woods in BMCR 2021.12.04
