Few historical epochs have influenced the development of
civilization to the extent that those of ancient Greece and Rome
have. This Guide, with over 1700 entries and 500 illustrations, is
a key reference work on both, covering all the main branches of
ancient literature, art and institutions. In addition, it explores
traditionally neglected areas such as dress, housing, minority
groups and social relations. Ranging from post-Bronze Age Greece to
the later Roman Empire, it surveys not only ancient Greece and
Rome, but discusses those cultures with which Greeks and Romans
exchanged information and culture (e.g., Phoenicians, Celts and
Jews) as well as the remote peoples with whom they were in contact
(e.g., Persia, China and India). Graham Shipley is a Fellow of the
Society of Antiquaries of London, and chair of the Council of
University Classical Departments as well as the Sparta and Laconia
Committee of the British School of Athens. His publications include
A History of Samos and The Greek World after Alexander. John
Vanderspoel is Professor of Late Antiquity at the University of
Calgary, where he was initially appointed in 1985. His publications
include Themistius and the Imperial Court (1995) and numerous
journal articles and chapters on Roman history, intellectual and
religious developments in the Roman imperial period and Roman
Britain. David Mattingly is a Fellow of the British Academy and
Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. His publications
include monographs on Tripolitania (1995) and An Atlas of Roman
Britain (2002); edited volumes including Economies beyond
Agriculture in the Classical World (2001), Life, Death and
Entertainment in the Roman World (1999), and Dialogues in Roman
Imperialism (supplement to Journal of Roman Archaeology, 1997). Lin
Foxhall is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. Her
publications include co-edited volumes on masculinity in the
ancient world (Thinking Men and When Men were Men 1998), on ancient
law (Greek Law in its Political Setting 1996), and the ancient
economy (Money, Labour and Land 2002) as well as many journal
