(Rare). ‘This is an excellent essay on a subject which badly needed fresh interpretation in the light of recent studies. It is intended for the general student of Roman history: but though it will be less useful to the specialist than the ‘Historia de España, vol. II, ed. Menéndez Pidal, it often shows a sounder judgement. And it is not without original contributions to knowledge, especially in matters of coinage. (…) There is much to praise in this sensible and scholarly book: notably the appreciation of Julius Caesar’s work in Spain; a correct explanation (…) of ILS 103 (p.240); an illuminating use of the numismatic evidence; and an interesting choice of pictures. Mr. Sutherland concludes that Rome, while granting her peace and a large measure of her citizenship to the Spains, failed to give them independent policy in their interests, apart from her own.’ (M.I. HENDERSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1940, pp.43-44).
