He both places the book in the context of Syme's other works and details the progression of Sallustian studies since and as a result of Syme's work. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
