The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity is the first comprehensive
reference book covering every aspect of history, culture, religion,
and life in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East (including
the Persian Empire and Central Asia) between the mid-3rd and the
mid-8th centuries AD, the era now generally known as Late
Antiquity. This period saw the re-establishment of the Roman
Empire, its conversion to Christianity and its replacement in the
West by Germanic kingdoms, the continuing Roman Empire in the
Eastern Mediterranean, the Persian Sassanian Empire, and the rise
of Islam. Consisting of over 1.5 million words in more than 5,000
A-Z entries, and written by more than 400 contributors, it is the
long-awaited middle volume of a series, bridging a significant
period of history between those covered by the acclaimed Oxford
Classical Dictionary and The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages.
The scope of the Dictionary is broad and multi-disciplinary; across
the wide geographical span covered (from Western Europe and the
Mediterranean as far as the Near East and Central Asia), it
provides succinct and pertinent information on political history,
law, and administration; military history; religion and philosophy;
education; social and economic history; material culture; art and
architecture; science; literature; and many other areas. Drawing on
the latest scholarship, and with a formidable international team of
advisers and contributors, The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity
aims to establish itself as the essential reference companion to a
period that is attracting increasing attention from scholars and
students worldwide.
