'This book will delight any historian. It's a superb gazetteer of
120 centres of ancient civilization' (Daily Telegraph) From
Alexandria to York, this unique illustrated guide allows us to see
the great centres of classical civilization afresh. The key feature
of Cities of the Classical World is 120 specially drawn maps
tracing each city's thoroughfares and defences, monuments and
places of worship. Every map is to the same scale, allowing readers
for the first time to appreciate visually the relative sizes of
Babylon and Paris, London and Constantinople. There is also a
clear, incisive commentary on each city's development, strategic
importance, rulers and ordinary inhabitants. This compelling and
elegant atlas opens a new window on to the ancient world, and will
transform the way we see it.
