Samenvatting
Antiquity: Greeks and Romans in Context provides a chronological introduction to the history of ancient Mediterranean civilizations within the larger context of its contemporary Eurasian world.
Innovative approach organizes Greek and Roman history into a single chronology
Combines the traditional historical story with subjects that are central to modern research into the ancient world including a range of social, cultural, and political topics
Facilitates an understanding of the ancient Mediterranean world as a unity, just as the Mediterranean world is in its turn presented as part of a larger whole
Covers the entire ancient Mediterranean world from pre–history through to the rise of Islam in the seventh century A.D.
Features a diverse collection of images, maps, diagrams, tables, and a chronological chart to aid comprehension
English translation of a well–known Dutch book, De oudheid, now in its third edition
