This work is a comprehensive guide for visitors to an exhibition at the British Museum, focusing on everyday life in ancient Greek and Roman societies. It aims to present a diverse collection of antiquities that reflect the public and private lives of these cultures, rather than solely their artistic achievements. The opening of the guide introduces the exhibition's organization and explains its intent of illustrating various aspects of Greek and Roman life, grouped into categories such as political, social, and religious practices. It notes that while the exhibition is not exhaustive, it provides a coherent view through available artifacts. Several noteworthy contributions by past staff members of the museum are acknowledged, pointing to collaborative efforts in crafting this educational resource for the public. The preface sets the stage for a detailed exploration of themes tracing back to antiquity, ensuring visitors can navigate the complexities of ancient life as presented through the collected objects.
