"This new commentary, while going into a good deal of detail on the historical side...is laudably concerned at every turn to make sure that the student understands Sallust's grammar.... Ramsey has read his text with attention, and will stimulate his readers to do the same."-- Michael Winterbottom, Classical Review "The commentary is a mine of solid information for students, not only on the immediate topic, but also on related aspects of Roman civilization.... It is an exemplary commentary for the modern student of Sallust."--Thomas Scanlon, Classical World "Ramsey has produced what is likely to become the standard textbook for all intermediate students of Latin studying Sallust.... It has just the right balance of all the factors necessary for such a student to gain a good understanding of this great work and its author."--Darel Engen, Favonius
