Bestselling author Norman Cantor delivers this compact but
magisterial survey of the ancient world -- from the birth of
Sumerian civilization around 3500 B.C. in the Tigris-Euphrates
valley (present-day Iraq) to the fall of the Roman Empire in A.D.
476. In Antiquity, Cantor covers such subjects as Classical Greece,
Judaism, the founding of Christianity, and the triumph and decline
of Rome.
In this fascinating and comprehensive analysis, the author
explores social and cultural history, as well as the political and
economic aspects of his narrative. He explains leading themes in
religion and philosophy and discusses the environment, population,
and public health. With his signature authority and insight, Cantor
highlights the great books and ideas of antiquity that continue to
influence culture today.
