References

1 An important theme for C., who states, ‘history is also about people and their thought world’ in contrast to ‘a particular view of history, concerned with establishing facts and narrating events’ (p. 150).

2 The vast majority of sources cited in the discussion on pp.10–12 are 20 to 30 years old, with the two most recent being Stoddart (2006) and Hordern and Purcell (2000). For an introduction to the torrent of recent literature on this subject, see Luterbacher, J. et al. , ‘A Review of 2000 Years of Paleoclimatic Evidence in the Mediterranean’, in Lionello, P., The Climate of the Mediterranean Region (2012), pp. 87–185 CrossRefGoogle Scholar, especially section 2.6.

3 This reviewer noted: ‘of the of the’ in the quote of Claudius II (p. 90), ‘than’ in place of ‘that’ on the second line below heading 3 (p. 302), and ‘Aio’ for ‘Anio’ in n. 157 (p. 487).

4 One error is that the route of the Petronia stream in Map 2 does not match that of the description on p. 18, and it would be useful if Map 4 showed Fidenae, Narnia and Spoletum, all mentioned in the text.

5 Exceptions are a mention of the possibility of North African influence for irrigation dams (p. 226) and local variation in attitudes towards springs (pp. 354–5).
