Ancient Greece: State and society
by Nicholas F. Jones
Category: History

Ancient Greece: State and Society greatly enlarges the scope of subjects traditionally regarded as appropriate to historical inquiry. While many textbooks on ancient Greek history have been written from a narrowly political or military perspective, Nicholas F. Jones presents a far more comprehensive picture by including a wide range of social, cultural, and economic topics. The centerpiece of the book is Athens, the only ancient Greek city sufficiently documented to permit an in depth characterization of this kind.
