About the author

Eleanor Dickey is Professor of Classics at the University of Reading. She has published widely on the Latin and Greek languages and the ways in which they were studied in antiquity, including Greek Forms of Address (1996), Latin Forms of Address (2002) and Ancient Greek Scholarship (2007). She also has extensive experience of teaching elementary languages, both Greek and Latin, and has brought to bear on her understanding of ancient language-teaching materials both that experience in general and specific tests of the Colloquia on modern students. In 2014 Professor Dickey was elected as a Fellow of the British Academy.

Summary

Colloquia are manuals designed to help ancient Greeks and Romans get around in each other's languages. In describing activities like shopping, bathing, and dining they provide a unique glimpse of daily life in the early Roman Empire. This book completes the texts' edition and translation begun in Volume 1.
