The work became one of the most widely used textbooks in its field for several decades, with both volumes stressing the human side of history, ideas, and the abiding cultural values of ancient civilization. The first volume covers the Ancient Near East and Greece, while the second addresses the Roman world, together spanning the full arc of Mediterranean antiquity from the earliest Near Eastern civilizations through the Roman Empire. Trever was a pioneer in his insistence that history could not be properly understood as a mere chronicle of battles, royal names, and dates, but must be approached as a synthetic discipline that illuminated the interconnection of political, economic, social, and cultural forces â" a methodological conviction he shared with Tenney Frank and others of his generation who were transforming classical studies in America.
