This volume in the LACTOR Sourcebooks in Ancient History series offers a generous selection of primary texts on the Athenian Empire in new English translations, with accompanying maps, tables and figures, a glossary and short contextualising introductory notes. It provides for the needs of students at schools and universities who are studying ancient history in translation and has been written and reviewed by experienced teachers. The texts presented include extracts from the important literary sources but also numerous inscriptions and coin legends, some of which were previously difficult for students to access.
