Reviews for A Companion to the Punic Wars
“My cavils in the previous paragraph notwithstanding, Hoyos and his team are to be complimented for their success in bringing the multifaceted “action history” of the wars to life in a striking and sophisticated way.” (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 1 January 2013)
