Plot

This concise dictionary is a compendium of current knowledge about the ancient Greco-Roman world. A quarter of a million words are divided between some two thousand entries in a single A-Z sequence. Chronological coverage begins in 776 BC (the year of the first Olympic games) and ends in AD 476 with the fall of the Roman Empire in the west. Concise information is presented on major events, institutions, individuals, periods, places and styles. Accessability is enhanced by judicious cross-reference, bibliography, and the use of maps and genealogies.
