Andrew Dalby
'He [Dalby] has done what he set out to do and done it with wit, panache, a vast range of reference, many shrewd observations and a wealth of wonderful stories.' - Peter Jones, Sunday Telegraph; 'Fascinating... we will never be able to recapture the experience of... any of the pleasures that inspired Horace in his resolution to pluck the day. But thanks to Andrew Dalby, we now have a much better sense of all the manifold luxuries of the Roman world. It is in this that the value of his book truly lies.' - Tom Holland, Literary Review
