AcknowledgementsThe editors wish to express their thanks to the many institutions and individuals named in the List of
Illustrations for provision of photographs and drawings, and permission to use them; and to Philippa
Lewis who did the picture research. A special debt of gratitude is owed to Roger Ling who undertook
the main responsibility for the choice of illustrations and the writing of captions from Chapter 13
onwards. The pictures and captions of earlier chapters were chosen and written by John Boardman.
Oswyn Murray compiled the Chronological Charts. The index was compiled by Peter Tickler. Many
members of the Press have devoted their skills to the creation of this volume, but our principal debt must
be to the authors for their patient cooperation.
