The Athenian Empire On Stone

Removes the foundations of classical Greek history, and begins creating new ones

This volume in the LACTOR Sourcebooks in Ancient History series offers a generous selection of primary texts on the Athenian Empire in new English translations, with accompanying maps, tables and figures, a glossary and short contextualising introductory notes. It provides for the needs of students at schools and universities who are studying ancient history in translation and has been written and reviewed by experienced teachers. The texts presented include extracts from the important literary sources but also numerous inscriptions and coin legends, some of which were previously difficult for students to access.

This very useful volume translates part of Hill's Sources for Greek History (478-431 BC) with other material relating to the Athenian Empire. This revised edition builds on the work of previous editors (Davies, Clayton and Meiggs) and includes a detailed bibliography.

The first book to illustrate and integrate coinage comprehensively as historical evidence for the Athenian empire.

This title explores new approaches to the key phenomenon of 5th-century Greek history, the growth and collapse of the Athenian Empire.
