Egypt, Greece and Rome: Civilizations of the Ancient MediterraneanOUP Oxford, 29 Ιαν 2004 - 736 σελίδες Egypt, Greece and Rome is regarded as one of the best general histories of the ancient world. It is written for the general reader and the student coming to the subject for the first time and provides a reliable and highly accessible point of entry to the period.
