Readers will learn that the grand army of Alexander the Great consisted of 48,500 soldiers & was the largest ever to leave Greek soil, that the white facades of refined Ionic & Doric structures in Greece were once washed in vibrant reds & blues, & that the Theodosian Code, a collection of Roman law published in AD 438, still survives today.

Mythology & religion were integral parts of classical civilization, & from Aphrodite & Hermes to funerary rites & sacrifice, they are integral parts of this volume as well. Whether searching for the birth date of Julius Caesar or the location of Cyprus, the ancient Roman method of navigation or the ancient Greek method of glass production, readers will find that this extraordinarily thorough yet accessibly written book is a treasury of information on classical civilization.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st UK Edition. "In 1996, Oxford published the third edition of its excellent resource, The Oxford Classical Dictionary. The goal of this new volume is to appeal to a wider audience by making some changes in the way the material from that dictionary is presented. While no entries have been shortened, some that were considered too recondite or technical for the nonspecialist have been omitted. Bibliographies attached to entries in the dictionary have been replaced by a general bibliography at the back of the book, and color and black-and-white illustrations illuminate some of the entries. Entries are now grouped under the following broad subject areas: History, Law & Society, Literature & Scholarship, Philosophy & Religion, and Science,Technology,& Material Culture" 795p. bibliography [+ 10 pages of maps] NOTE : Large HEAVY volume [2 kg] [25X19X5 cm]793p. + maps.
