Professor Mossé looks beyond these judgments to discuss the exceptional destiny of Athens - a city which for two centuries dominated the Eastern Mediterranean world, but then faded from the political scene when Rome extended its control over the whole Mediterranean. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of Athenian democracy does not end in 404 BC, as is sometimes thought, when the city capitulated to Sparta at the end of its Golden Age. \u003cem\u003eAthens in Decline\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1973, demonstrates how the city experienced another seventy-five years of greatness, and survived, more or less curtailed, under Macedonian domination. She examines the reasons for the final collapse and follows the stages of a decline which was not wholly without grandeur. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claude Mossé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415745748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415745741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Claude Mossé","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086651830527,"sku":"9780415745741","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4210c0a1-2416-4558-988f-d7066a4287c7.jpg?v=1769095823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/athens-in-decline-routledge-revivals-claude-mosszs-9780415745741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
