Hellenistic World: An Enthralling Guide to Ancient Mediterranean History, from Alexander the Great to the Roman Empire
Billy Wellman
When one hears the term Greek, our first thoughts may rush to Socrates, temples, and togas, but this is just a small section of the exciting and complex history of the Hellenistic world.
Caesar wasn’t the only military and political leader of his time. And Cleopatra wasn’t the only one unsure of her feelings toward Rome. From the death of Alexander the Great onward, the area around Greece was rife with civil wars, treachery, treason, and backstabbing. If you are interested in military history, politics, or archaeology or are simply an armchair scholar, you’ve come to the right place.
Inside this tome, we will examine Hellenistic Greece in a way that brings the people to life and puts their decisions up for debate, even two thousand years later. If you’ve ever wondered any of the following, then this audiobook was made for you:
You are at the starting line of a great adventure. Settle in and prepare for war, love, violence, and science in an exciting ancient world.
