The set begins with 26 overview essays, from Agriculture to Writing Systems. This is followed by 1,169 alphabetically arranged essays on persons, cultures, wars, battles, documents or works, traditions or cultural phenomena, structures or artifacts, places or sites, terms, and groups or civilizations from `Abd al-Malik through Zurvanism.
Appendices include a Categorized List of Contents, Time Line, Geographical Guide to the Ancient World, Glossary, Web Sites, and Bibliography, as well as a Personages Index and a comprehensive Subject Index.
