Books in the The Cambridge Ancient History Plates series

A standard work of reference providing an authoritative selection of illustrations for the early history of Rome and the development of the city of Rome, as well as all the regions of Italy and the West, including North Africa, Spain, Sicily and Gaul.

This volume complements the text volume of "The Cambridge Ancient History Volume IV", but can also be used as an independent, illustrated account of the period (c. 525 to 479 BC), and of the evidence for the life and arts of Greeks and Persians in the years when they first crossed swords.

This volume complements the second edition of "The Cambridge Ancient History Volumes V and VI", which covers the history of Greece and associated areas between the Persian Wars and the death of Alexander the Great. It is intended to be an account of the physical evidence for Greek culture.

The intention of this volume is both to complement the text volumes and to provide a commentary on the material evidence of antiquity. It covers the Hellenistic period from 323 to the first century BC, including Ptolematic Egypt, the Seleucid kingdom, India, Asia Minor, Macedonia, and Greece.
