The dictionary-directory of candidates of historical sciences offered to the reader compares favorably with similar, unfortunately still very rare, publications. Its language is laconic and simple, which allows you to use it regardless of educational level. At the same time, the dictionary contains information that may interest even a historian. Suffice it to say that all the names, names and terms given in it have a Greek or Latin equivalent, and, if possible, indicating the etymology. In addition, many articles are equipped with bibliographic indexes, which in itself is of great value to a reader interested in ancient history and culture.
