About this title

Synopsis

The Grammar of the Ancient World offers a unique approach to exploring the cultures of key civilizations of ancient times. By combining historic engravings with a modern commentary that is at once authoritative and accessible, it creates both a celebration of ancient cultures and an invaluable reference for all students of early history. Beautiful reproductions of classic engravings, in full cover and monotone, bring the major civilizations to life. An expert, modern narrative describes and compares each culture's approach to major themes such as government and society, religion and architecture, and food and games. Detailed maps and timelines help the reader to place each civilization in the context of its neighbors, allies, and enemies.
