Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities

Title page

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities is an English-language encyclopedia first published in 1842 and then in many revised editions through 1890. Covering law, religion, architecture, warfare, daily life, and similar subjects primarily from the classicist's standpoint, it was one of a series of reference works on classical antiquity by William Smith; the others cover persons and places. It runs to well over a million words in any edition, and all editions are now in the public domain.
