REVIEW: A. HARKER, Loyalty and Dissidence in Roman Egypt

Andrew Harker: Loyalty and Dissidence in Roman Egypt

by Livia Capponi

In 1954 the Church historian Herbert Musurillo re-edited a collection of all known Acta Alexandrinorum (or Acts of the Alexandrian Martyrs), and since then there has long been a need for a new study taking into consideration the newly published fragments of this fascinating literature. Andrew Harker's book must thus be welcomed as an entirely appropriate and timely work that fills a major gap in scholarship. The author must be congratulated on that.
