Robin Lane Fox's The Classical World: An Epic History of Greece and Rome is a comprehensive and enthralling introduction to Ancient civilisation.

The classical civilisations of Greece and Rome dominated the world for centuries and continue to intrigue and enlighten us with their inventions, whether philosophy, politics, theatre, athletics, celebrity, science or the pleasures of horse racing. Robin Lane Fox's spellbinding history spans almost a thousand years of change from the foundation of the world's first democracy in Athens to the Roman Republic and the Empire under Hadrian.

Bringing great figures such as Homer, Socrates, Cicero, Alexander, Antony and Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Augustus and the first Christian martyrs to life, exploring freedom, justice and luxury, this wonderfully exciting tour brings the turbulent histories of Greece and Rome together in a masterly study.

This book by Robin Lane Fox is probably the best all round history of the classical world that I have come across. Scholarly, yet readable, it is hugely informative and a pleasure to read. Highly recommended.

I hope my find my review helpful.

deplorable language

In many ways this book deserves 5 stars - extremely readable, highly informative and well illustrated with colour photos. So what is there not to like? The fact that on about 4 occasions Alexander's disabled son is referred to as a "half-wit" or "half-witted". Surely an Oxford academic writing in the 21st century can do better than this?

It reads as if the most important fact about Ancient Greece was homosexuality.

The Emperor

Well written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2010

I greatly enjoyed this. It is a very decent narrative history book. It covers a great deal of ground and does so in a comprehensive and rigorous way. Some subjects are covered in a lot more detail than others but I didn't find anything to complain about it. Probably the best relatively short single volume history of the Classical world that I have read.
