This dictionary is a compendium of current knowledge about the ancient Greco-Roman world. A quarter million words are divided between some two thousand entries in a single A-Z sequence.
Chronological coverage begins in 776 BCE (the year of the first Olympic Games) and ends in 476 CE with the fall of the Roman Empire in the west. Concise information is presented on major events, institutions, individuals, periods, places, and styles.
Accessibility is enhanced by judicious cross-referencing, bibliography, and the use of maps and genealogies. Contributors include specialists in archaic Greek history, classical Greek history, Hellenistic history, Roman Republican history, Roman imperial history, and philosophy, science and mathematics.
