Over the past half century The Cambridge Ancient History has established itself as a definitive work of reference. The original volumes were published between 1924 and 1939 and were divided into text volumes and plates which contained photographs with short captions designed to complement the text. Now, for the first time all volumes are available as a complete set. Plates are available separately.

Volume X

‘... authoritative ... written with scholarship and care by leading figures working in the field ... behind each paragraph stands a vast array of scholarship as displayed in the extensive bibliographies. The CAH offers certainties in a scholarly world that is increasingly obsessed with ambiguities.’

The Classical Review

Volume XI

‘... an enormous enterprise, into which immense academic energy has been poured ... The volume thus offers a vast panorama survey of many aspects of the period ... conspicuously strong in examining the history of the various separate regions of the Empire ... volume XI is perhaps the most successful of all the Roman volumes in CAH2 published so far ... excellent sections in government and the working of the Imperial system, with a notably original contribution by Brent Shaw on 'Rebel and Outsiders'.’

English Historical Review

‘... the CAH has its firmly established place in the libraries, and vol. XI will provide useful guidance for many decades to come in the hands of whoever acquires it.’

ARCTOS

Volume XIV

‘... Cambridge's production standards are exemplary. This volume is self-recommending.’

Martin Brooke, Church Times
