very useful book,but...

Although this is a very useful dictionary , I think the "Who's Who in the Roman World" is better to read.Why ? The reason is evident. This book lacks a lot of interesting people and historical stories. E.G. ; You cannot find the entriy of PAMMENES the founder of the Sacred Band=Hieros Lokhos of Thebai. And in the article of PHILIPPOS 2nd of Macedonia , you cannot read the famous story of his murderer and beloved Pausanias who was raped by Attalos and his servants. Et aussi ,the compiler doesn't mention that Aristogeiton and Harmodios were lovers at all, as if we ,the readers are still live in the hypocritical Victorian age.
