The atlas covers two thousand years of history, from ancient Egypt and the earliest Greek states to the decline of the Roman Empire. It includes 92 maps, based on archaeological findings and recent research, spanning politics, society and culture: governments, conflicts, economy, trade, religion, literature, art and urban development.
This work is volume 3 of the Atlas Akal collection, translated by Pedro López Barja de Quiroga.
Suitable for History students and for those seeking a cartographic approach to classical antiquity.
Michael Grant was an English classicist, Professor of Humanity at the University of Edinburgh, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history. His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. Having studied and held a number of academic posts in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, he retired early to write full-time. He once described himself as "one of the very few freelancers in the field of ancient history: a rare phenomenon". As a populariser, his hallmarks were his prolific output and his unwillingness to oversimplify or talk down to his readership. He published over 70 works.
