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

''He writes supremely well ... a keen eye for the telling detail and powerful example ... the humanity of the exercise shines through ... compulsory, and compulsive, reading'' Peter Jones, Sunday Telegraph
