About this book
Stone tools, Egyptian temples and Greek cities provide the starting points for Charles Seignobos's survey of ancient life. The chapters move from prehistoric remains and the evidence used by historians to the religions, governments, arts and social arrangements of Egypt, western Asia, India, Greece and Rome. Alongside rulers and campaigns, the contents give space to commerce, family life, citizenship and the treatment of conquered peoples.
The excerpt on the kingdoms formed after Alexander's death shows the book's method in detail. Political change leads into an account of Greek language and customs, then into Alexandria's streets, harbor and scientific institutions. The Museum and its library become examples of how royal power could support learning.
