Summary

Arthur Cotterell: The Pimlico Dictionary of Classical Civilizations

An original and unique reference work that breaks new ground by treating the Classical Age of the Old World as a whole for the first time. Never before have the key peoples and events of Greece, Rome, Persia, India and China been covered in one volume, despite the fact that their civilizations had much in common and laid the foundations of today's Europe and Asia. Arthur Cotterell argues that for too long Greece and Rome have been considered the classical world, their study isolated even from the great powers that clashed with the Greeks and Romans in Iran and India. Today, we are more aware of the complex interrelationships that once existed between the Greeks and the Persians, the Macedonians and the Indians, the Romans, and the Persians and the Sassanids. China's persistent isolation, on the other hand, cut off from India by mountains and deserts, makes the classical experience there so useful for comparison and contrast. The virtual absence of slavery in China is only one of its striking features. Comprehensive, extensive and lavishly illustrated, the Pimlico Dictionary of Classical Civilizations provides a fascinating overview and detailed analysis of the world's formative period, making it indispensable for students and general readers alike.
