A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
- 1890 edition at Perseus Project
- 1875 edition at LacusCurtius (about 50% of it: the Roman articles)
- 1870 edition, OCR at Ancient Library
In addition, an 1863 abridgment of the work, A Short Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, is also online, complete.
