This useful topographical dictionary was compiled by Samuel Ball
Platner (1863-1921) of Western Reserve University in collaboration
with Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), the third director of the British
School of Archaeology at Rome. Sadly, Platner died before the work
was completed, and Ashby eventually published it in 1929. The bulk
of the work is an alphabetical list of the buildings, streets and
geographical features in ancient Rome mentioned by ancient authors
and/or discovered by more recent exploration and excavation of the
ruins, with details about literary and historical references, and
about the original and any surviving structure. There is also a
chronological index to those monuments and other buildings that are
dateable, and a large map (downloadable from the web at
www.cambridge.org/9781108083249). With listings from 'Acca
Larentia' to 'Zater(...nses)', the work is an invaluable tool in
the exploration of Rome, whether by the scholar, student, or
visitor.
