"In this survey of ancient Greek history and civilization, Martin

create a panoramic view of the Greek world. Novices will find the
work both comprehensible and entertaining."—Library Journal
"Some 20 years after the success of his Ancient Greece: From
Prehistoric to Hellenistic Times (Yale UP), Thomas R. Martin gives
the same treatment to a potted history of Rome, with great success.
. . . It is to the credit of the author that, even in a few pages,
there seem to be no omissions of events, incidents or figures who
helped shape the history of Rome. . . . It remains . . . an
immensely readable and engaging history, which shows incredible
breadth, given its brevity."—Geoff Lowsley, Minerva
