This fascinating guide chronicles the rise and fall of ancient Greece and Rome and its cultural influence today.

From palace-based societies in Minoan Crete to the Germanic invasion of Rome, it tells the story of these classical civilizations, covering their political development, the rise of the city state and the growth of their empires. Also included are insights into the architectural, artistic and cultural impact of early Greece and Rome and vignettes of key political and cultural figures.

Accompanied by features on major developments, detailed maps and superb photographs, this is a fascinating introduction to the two great empires that shaped the modern world.
