The Ancient Greeks

Cultures from antiquity spring to life in the Spotlights series of info- and picture-packed paper-over-board volumes. In The Ancient Greeks by Charles Freeman, detailed drawings of artifacts, architecture, weaponry, statuary and dozens of other traditional elements mix with succinct text on society, economy, government, women's roles and even the early Olympics. Other titles in the series include The Romans by John Haywood; The Egyptians by Neil Grant; and going even further back in time, Prehistoric Life by Dougal Dixon. )
