Zusammenfassung:
This text takes a novel look at developments in Mediterranean antiquity that became essential components of the modern world. Instead of the usual fare, such as Greek democracy, Roman law, and barbarian invasions, it discusses the development of individual rights, naturalized citizenship, and governing a multi-ethnic state, as well as a topic often ignored: the development of monotheism. The book is concise and written to be accessible to both the general reader and students in introductory courses in world civilization and ancient civilization classes.
