The classical world in bite-sized chunks

Book
Perhaps more than any other period in history, the era of classical antiquity shaped the Western world as we know it today. From the pioneering schools of Greek philosophy to the far-reaching influence of the Roman Empire, so much of what we consider fundamental to our contemporary civilisation can trace its roots back to Mediterranean Europe during this time. Divided into eight chapters, each covering an aspect of the classical world - the gods, heroes and monsters, rulers and government, war, art, philosophy, literature and science - this is the perfect primer for any reader looking for an introduction to one of the most captivating periods in history. With dozens of easy-to-digest entries on the most important people, events, art and mythology of the era, accompanied by maps and illustrations, this book gives you everything you need to know about Greek and Roman history in one compact package.
