The Classical World is a fascinating guide to the history of human kind from the period when Greek civilization was at its height to the time that Islam emerged as one of the world's major faiths. The volume begins with a series of maps that present an overview of the grand themes of history at key dates between 550 BCE and 600 CE. The maps chart the shifting pattern of human settlement and the rise and fall of empires and states, in addition to reviewing the spread of trade and economic activity on a world scale.
