Title: Ancient History
Description: Today’s modern conveniences render the ancient world almost incomprehensible. The Coliseum, the Parthenon and the pyramids seem like mythology in the face of contemporary high rises, yet Rawlinson underscores the impact ancient civilizations had on the development of the world. Through written records, geography and currency, he explains how the empires grew . . . and how they fell.
