Volume 14 concludes the new edition of The Cambridge Ancient History.
'Cambridge's production standards are exemplary. This volume is self-recommending.' Martin Brooke, Church Times 'This volume is an organizational and conceptual tour de force. ... a reliable, amply documented, and self-aware volume that offers clear guidance through a landscape of remarkable variety and interest. The volume is far more than a rock solid base for further research by scholars already in the field. It invites thoughtful reassessment of the era it so vividly describes so that students of other eras might benefit from its lessons.' M. Maas, Rice University
