Unlike the Site Map, which functions somewhat as a table of contents, listing essays only once within their broader discussion, this index alphabetizes the individual subject words wherever they appear.
A postscript—As these essays have become longer and more detailed, and the indexing less rewarding than the writing, an increasing lag is beginning to appear before they are indexed. A more thorough approach is to survey the Encyclopaedia Romana using Google's own search engine. Simply enter the desired term, following by a colon and a space, and the address penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/
