The Cambridge dictionary of classical civilization
Author:Graham Shipley

This key work, containing almost 1700 entries and 500 illustrations, surveys all the traditionally-studied areas of the classical world, as well as exploring new themes such as dress, housing, minority groups and social relations. An essential reference tool for students and all those with an interest in ancient civilisation.

The Cambridge Dictionary of Classical Civilization provides an authoritative survey of the classical world, combining the traditional strengths of classical subjects with new approaches examining the social and cultural features of the ancient Greek and Roman world. Ranging in time from post-Bronze Age Greece to the later Roman Empire, it looks not only at ancient Greece and Rome, but discusses those cultures with which Greeks and Romans exchanged information and culture (e.g. Phoenicians, Celts and Jews) and those remote peoples with whom they were in contact (e.g. Persia, China and India). It paints a new picture of ancient life, exploring material realities such as dress and technology. It emphasizes the transmission of classical learning and explores our debts to Greece and Rome. Highly illustrated, with hundreds of entries by leading scholars, this Dictionary is a superb reference work and definitive companion for anyone with an interest in the ancient world
