Description
8220Ths excellent survey... spans the rise and
fall of the Greco-Roman world. This
conversational yet erudite history is a
treat.8221(Publishers Weekly, starred
review)The magnificent civilization created by
the ancient Greeks and Romans is the greatest
legacy of the classical world. However, narratives
about the 8220ciilized8221Greek and
Roman empiresresisting the barbarians at the
gateare far from accurate. Tony Spawforth, an
esteemed scholar, author, and BBC presenter,
follows the thread of civilization through
more than six millennia of history. His story
reveals that Greek and Roman civilization, to
varying degrees, was surprisingly receptive to
external influences, particularly from
the East.From the rise of the Mycenaean world of
the sixteenth century B.C., Spawforth traces a
path through the ancient Aegean to the zenith of
the Hellenic state and the rise of the Roman
Empire, the coming of Christianity, and
the consequences of the first caliphate. Deeply
informed, provocative, and entirely fresh, this
is the first and only accessible work that tells
the extraordinary story of the classical world in
its entirety.8220Awelcome survey of the two
greatest powers in the ancient Mediterranean
world and their bound destinies.82218212Kikus

story.... With Spawforth as our guide, we grasp a

people who really
lived.82218212John Timpane, The
Philadelphia Inquirer8220Wih great agility,
Spawforth mixes literary, inscriptional, and
archaeological material and offers a
nuanced understanding of how civilisations evolve.
