A Good Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference of Ancient Rome. Through the years it has been very helpful in finding information about lesser-known Romans. In addition to being alphabetical, it includes an extensive index, a glossary of titles, black and white drawings and several genealogical charts of the families that ruled the Roman Empire. Based on my good experiences with this book, I have also bought Bunson's Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages.I do not understand what the other "reader" is referring to. According to the encyclopedia, Crassus died in 53 BC and the battle of Carrhae took place in 53 BC, too. I can not find any reference to 55 BC at all!
Excellent and indespensible

I've had this book for several years and still find it a facinating reference. It's comprehensive and useful for any student of ancient Rome. If you wish to find information about some aspect of the Roman world, chances are you'll find it here.
