DICTIONARY OF GREEK AND ROMAN ANTIQUITIES. 



By various Writers. Edited by Dr. WILLIAM SMITH. Second Edition. 

 Illustrated by several hundred Engravings oil Wood. One thick Volume, 

 medium 8vo. 21. 2s. cloth. 



This work, written by the editor in conjunction with seventeen other gentlemen, 

 embodies the results of the latest investigations of the distinguished German scholars 

 whose labours, within the last half-century, have shed an entirely different light on the 

 history, the private life, and the political relations of the Greeks and Romans. It 

 comprehends all the topics of antiquities properly so called, including the laws, insti- 

 tutions, and domestic usages of the Greeks and Romans : painting, sculpture, music, 

 the drama, and other subjects on which correct information can be obtained elsewhere 

 only by consulting a large number of costly or untranslated works. 



The names of the contributors are attached to their respective articles ; and copious 

 references to the original authorities are given, in order to adapt the work to the pur-. 

 poses of those who desire to extend their investigations on any particular topic. 



The dictionary is illustrated by numerous wood-cuts, made under the superintend- 

 ence of the writers of the several articles. They are chiefly representations of costumes, 

 weapons, ornaments, machines, implements, utensils, money, plans of buildings, and 

 architectural embellishments. 



Subjoined are tables of Greek and Roman measures, weights, and money ; with full 

 indexes, Greek, Latin, and English. 



A more adequate notion of the variety of the topics of the work will be conceived 

 from the following selection of generic heads, under each of which are comprised many 

 particulars distributed in alphabetical order : agriculture, architecture, arithmetic, 

 armour, assemblies, astronomy, calendars, camps, classes, colonies, crimes, divisions 

 of land, drama, dress, engineering, engraving and chasing, entertainments, epochs and 

 divisions of time, festivals, forms of government, furniture, Greek law, literature, 

 machines, magistrates, manufactures, maritime affairs, mathematical geography, 

 measures, medicine, metals, military affairs, money, music, oracles, painting, priests, 

 roads, Roman law, sacrifices, slaves, statuary, superstitious, temples, titles, tools, 

 trades, vehicles and their parts, writing, and writing materials. 



A SMALLER DICTIONARY OF GREEK AND ROMAN 



ANTIQUITIES. Abridged from the larger Dictionary. By Dr. 

 WILLIAM SMITH. New Edition. Crown 8vo. 7*. Qd. cloth. 



This work, intended to illustrate the classical authors usually read in schools, exhibits 

 the results of the labours of modern scholars in the various subjects included under the 

 general term of Greek and Roman antiquities. Such information, contained in the 

 larger Dictionary of Antiquities, as is not suited to junior students, is here omitted ; 

 and whatever articles are susceptible of it have been illustrated by wood-cuts from 

 ancient works of art. 



The book, however, is designed not only for school use, but for the general English, 

 reader, who, although unacquainted with the ancient classics in the original, frequently 

 needs information on points connected with Greek and Roman antiquities. 



The wood-cuts are calculated to give a correct idea of the numerous objects 

 described, of which but a vague notion could be conceived from the most minute 

 verbal description ; and these cuts have the advantage of authenticity, being taken 

 exclusively from ancient inscriptions, paintings on vases, gems, coins, and pictures 

 found at Pompeii, as well as from actual relics of antiquity still existing. The pupil 

 thus acquires a knowledge of the forms of the various kinds of ancient armour and 

 weapons, instruments of music, apparatus for cooking and banqueting, articles of 

 dress, plans of houses, etc. 



The appendix consists of extensive tables of Greek and Roman coins, weights, and 

 measures ; the years corresponding to the Olympiads, the calendar, etc.
