About this product

Product Information

A unique introduction to the ancient world's three major civilizations, the book draws a fascinating picture of the links between the cultures across the Mediterranean and explores the ways in which these civilizations continue to be influential to this day. Freeman follows the history of the Mediterranean over a span of four millennia, to the emergence of the Byzantine empire in the East, examining the art, architecture, philosophy, literature, and religious practices of each culture, set against its social, political, and economic background. Especially striking are the readable and stimulating profiles of key individuals.

This is the second edition of what was an excellent book in its first edition, and is now stronger and even more useful ... If you did not add the first edition to your school or college library, I recommend that you do so. If you did, the second edition should still beckon you to include it., When Deborah James reviewed the first edition of this book for JACT in 1997 she said "it beats with the pulse of modern scholarship on the ancient Mediterranean" and drew attention among other merits to the way in which the presentation of the great civilizations in this book enabled the reader to view events in context. This remains one of the great strengths of the book, and with this strength there goes the author's ability to write with skill, precision and vividness for a wide audience.

Egypt, Greece, and Rome by Charles Freeman (2004)
I love this book because it breaks up the 3 most famous ancient empires in the world into easy and accessible parts. It includes anything you could ever want to know about each of them and includes interactions with other lesser known ancient empires such as the Mitanni or the Hittites. This book was EXACTLY what I was looking for. For those of you who need a great, easy to find, informational books on any of these empires, this is it. I highly recommend it.
