  • Gives readers a sense of the nature of evidence and its use in the reconstruction of the past

  • Helps them to read a historical narrative with more critical appreciation

  • Encourages them to consider the differences between their own experience of ancient sources, and the use of these objects within the everyday life of ancient society

  • A concise bibliographical essay at the end of each chapter refers to introductions, indices, research tools and interpretations, and explains scholarly jargon

  • Written clearly, concisely and concretely, invoking ancient illustrations and modern parallels as appropriate.
