| Summary: | "The Oxford Handbook of Roman Studies is a unique collection oi fifty-five articles which together explore the ways in which ancient Rome has been, is, and might be studied. It is intended less as an encyclopaedia of the well-established, and more a research tool to aid the development ol the subject: a guide that does not just inform but also inspires. The emphasis is on the different ways in which evidence can be used, on the breadth and potential of Roman Studies, and on informing dialogue between its subdisciplines, with the aim of widening the perspective of readers as well as meeting their particular needs for informations. The volume includes guidance on primary sources (especially useful in areas where this is complex, such as epigraphy and numismatics), and bibliographies of suggested reading."--Publisher description.
