À propos de cet audio

The magnificent civilization created by the ancient Greeks and Romans is the greatest legacy of the classical world. However, narratives about the "civilized" Greek and Roman empires resisting the barbarians at the gate are far from accurate. Tony Spawforth, an esteemed scholar, author, and media contributor, follows the thread of civilization through more than six millennia of history. His story reveals that Greek and Roman civilization, to varying degrees, was supremely and surprisingly receptive to external influences, particularly from the East.

From the rise of the Mycenaean world of the 16th century BC, Spawforth traces a path through the ancient Aegean to the zenith of the Hellenic state and the rise of the Roman empire, the coming of Christianity, and the consequences of the first caliphate. Deeply informed, provocative, and entirely fresh, this is the first and only accessible work that tells the extraordinary story of the classical world in its entirety.

Spawforth did what I was waiting for someone to do: to tell the history of the Greeks and Romans, chronologically, examining the relationship between the two. That he did this through the lens of a historian with a deep interest in anthropology, archaeology and language is what made it really work for me. I think I finally grasp just how many books were created and lost over the centuries. I like how he tied in recent archaeological finds into the timeline. I commend this book for well organized and labelled chapters. While a PDF accompaniment would have made it better, I simply screenshotted the chapter list in the audiobook, and checked them off as I listened, also giving me the ability to go back and relisten to sections, if I wish. Well done.

Brilliant
