Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves

I fully admit to skimming this for chapters relevant to my interests (I don't care about Greek history right now), so I can't give a comprehensive analysis of the book's merits and failings. I will say that the chapter on Roman slavery felt like an afterthought and was largely under-researched. I can't tell you if that's indicative of the general trend for other parts of the book; I know comparatively less about rich Romans. I will say that the book citing the Satyricon as though it were historical fact, and treating the Augustan slavery ‘reforms' as though they were actually carried out, bodes poorly.
