"These lavishly produced volumes constitute (...) a magnificent contribution to our knowledge both of Roman antiquities and of renaissance and baroque interest in them." (Apollo Magazine, April 2005)

"The Illustrations in these volumes, the copious illustrated comparanda, the individual entries and discussions of the catalogue, the care in production and publication - all this is exemplary. Ancient Roman Topography and Architecture will stand proud beside the rest of the Paper Museum publication project as a monument in modern publishing and a fundamental resource." (I. Campbell in: Times Literary Supplement, 4 February 2005, p. 10)

"Cette magnifique publication constituera désormais un instrument de travail incomparable pour tous ceux qui réfléchissent sur la topographie antique, sur l'évolution du dessin d'architecture, sur la "fortune" enfin des monuments romains et sur le rôle que leur image restituée a joué dans l'élaboration des paysages urbains du XVe au XVIIe siècle." (Pierre Gros, in: Comptes-rendus des séances de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, 148^e année, N. 3, 2004, p. 1237)

"A magnificently produced catalogue of great acumen and erudition covering a vast number of diverse ancient buildings and providing a wealth of useful comparative illustrations, all written in a concise, no-nonsense style. Campbell, his collaborators and publishers, have much to be proud of." (Burlington Magazine)
