Over the next four millennia, the social and cultural landscape would change beyond recognition as many of history's most important kingdoms and cities took root. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterweaving Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Persian, Greek and Roman history, this book follows these burgeoning empires over 4,000 years, examining the delicate balance of power as they vied for territory, conquest and glory. From Alexander the Great's 22,000-mile march on Persia to Attila the Hun's plunder of the Roman empire, John Haywood brings the most crucial battles and decisive campaigns to vivid life, and examines the extraordinary cultural achievements of these civilizations - the first written words, the spectacular works of architecture, the growth of democracy and the spread of religions - that changed our world for ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Haywood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848668961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848668966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quercus Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"John Haywood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420322550015,"sku":"9781848668966","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54f46c3c-16dd-4b32-9885-777af73511fb.jpg?v=1734634294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chronicles-of-the-ancient-world-john-haywood-9781848668966","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
