- Synopsis
- This abridgment of the 1996 third edition of The Oxford Classical Dictionary, the first in which the Middle East, Jews, and women make a significant appearance, is designed to be accessible, portable, and affordable to students, teachers, and general readers. It focuses on Greek Archaic and Classical periods with some attention to the Hellenist period, and on Rome of the later republic starting with the First Punic War and early empire to the death of Marcus Aurelius. Entries have been selected and simplified, bibliographies removed, technical terms explained, Greek transliterated, and new appendices added on money and ancient-to-modern place names.
