page 347 note 1 But there is a little too much of what are really no more than prosopographical notes, with no direct relevance to either the general historical background or Marcus' life (e.g. pp. 118, 148). And speculation about the value of the military experience of officials is sometimes rather far-fetched: e.g. Gavius Maximus on p. 145. At p. 175, n. 2 for ‘Dodds’ read ‘Dodd’.

page 348 note 1 In general Birley's coverage of things Christian is sound, but Clement of Alexandria was not a bishop (p. 290), and Eusebius' great work was not called Historia Ecclesiae (p. 315), but H. Ecclesiastica (the two words are not synonymous).
