Rezension zu: K. Vuković: Wolves of Rome Rezension zu / Review of: Vuković, Krešimir: : Wolves of Rome. The Lupercalia from Roman and Comparative Perspectives

It was a wise man who once said the quality of one’s work is best measured not by the friendly who praise it but by the enemies it attracts and how they choose to formulate their criticism

Just survived the terrorist attack on my Faculty at Charles University. I was teaching in the building where and when it happened. Still in shock but can say this was the most dramatic Ovid class ever! Glad all my students got out safe!

I’m thrilled to read such a glowing review of my book in BMCR! Nothing is more pleasing than to see one’s work recognized properly.
