Routledge Library Editions: The Ancient World is a collection of 35 previously out-of-print titles that examine many aspects of life in various ancient civilizations. Books look at the histories of the Greek and Roman worlds, the politics and philosophy of Athens, religion in ancient Greece, and other aspects of these early European societies: education, art and literature. Contacts between empires and barbarians are discussed, as well as economics and trade across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Near East. One volume analyses ancient rituals in India; others look at patronage and religion across the world.
