This introduction to the ancient world, part of the Ideas in Profile series, covers all its different cultures. Jerry Toner shows what can be learnt from new approaches to ancient history and looks at every period, not just classical Athens and Republican Rome, but the Hellenistic kingdoms that followed Alexander and the Christian-dominated Roman Empire. Greece and Rome, he argues, must be fitted into the global history of their day: what did Persians think of Greeks and how does the Roman Empire stack up to China's?<b>Jerry Toner </b>is Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Churchill College, Cambridge.
