Daily Life in the Hellenistic Age From Alexander to Cleopatra
Produktdetaljer
Biografisk notat
JAMES ALLAN EVANS is Professor Emeritus of Classical near Eastern and Religious Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. He has published several works on ancient Greece and Rome, including The Age of Justinian: The Circumstances of Imperial Power and The Emperor Justinian and the Byzantine Empire (Greenwood 2005).For high school and college students who must research daily life during the Hellenistic Age, this will be a very useful resource. Thus, it should be purchased by most high school, college, university, and larger public libraries. Since this period is also of great interest to students of Christianity and Judaism, it will also be a good acquisition for seminary libraries.
