About This Book

An abridged alphabetical reference of Greek and Roman antiquities provides concise entries on the material culture, public institutions, religious rites, law, and everyday life of the classical world. Entries define terms, describe objects and practices, and outline social, political, and military structures, often noting linguistic forms and pronunciation. Illustrations and tables supplement the text, while cross-references and footnotes point to fuller discussions and sources for further study.
