'The revised Cambridge Ancient History is a brilliant achievement for undergraduate, scholar and informed layman alike; up-to-date, authoritative, readable but never complacent. In an age of specialisation - when the magisterial survey is often regarded (not least by scholars) with some sort of suspicion - it can be counted on as a major triumph. 'Peter Jones, Sunday Telegraph'This new edition retains and reinforces all the old authority of the Cambridge Ancient History. It is obviously standard reference stock in any historical or major reference collection.'Reference Reviews
