Antiquity : a World History

Antiquity is a composite world history about religion, empire, success and failure, myth and secular ideas. One reader writes that she reads about ancient history purely for entertainment but expects it to be accurate and balanced and that the book “is really good on all points.” Another writes that “so many unspoken questions of mine were answered” and that many ‘ah-ha’s’ were uttered.” A third writes that he has never “read such a well conceived and thoroughly enjoyable composite history of the ancient world.” Antiquity cuts through common myths and describes the main currents of ancient times.
