A Companion to Ancient History

edited by Andrew Erskine

To produce a companion to ancient history is obviously a monumental task, and comprehensiveness an almost impossible goal, but there are nonetheless an impressively wide range of approaches, key topics and concepts covered in this volume. It is comprised of short essays, each by a specialist in the particular field, which, rather than serve as a nuts and bolts style introduction, instead intend to get the reader thinking, presenting key arguments from current research. As well as broad overviews by period and geographical area, chapters address such topics as environmental history, the family, death, finance and resources and citizenship to pick but a few. 693p b/w illus (Wiley-Blackwell 2009)
