Description
For the people of antiquity, the dominant force in shaping their life, economy and culture was the natural environment. This is an exploration of the direct influence of the geography, climate and resources of the Mediterranean world upon the Greeks and the Romans, and their ingenuity in exploring the challenges. The book distills from the wide range of specialist sources a concise yet comprehensive introduction to Classical Studies. Topics include settlements, politics, society, domestic life, religion, architecture, crafts and trade, travel and warfare. Highly readable, well-illustrated, with useful maps, frequesnt reference to ancient sources, and guidance for further study, its systematic and lively approach will assist and stimulate those coming to the subject for the first time.
