Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Egypt of the 660s BC was a politically fragmented and conquered country. However, its situation was about to change. This is an account of how a family of local rulers from the town of Sais declared independence from the Assyrian Empire and brought about reunification. They established central government, reformed the economy and promoted trade. Egypt soon became prosperous, achieving a pre-eminent role in the Mediterranean world. The book reveals the dynamic nature of the period, the astuteness of the Saite rulers and their considerable achievements in the political, economic, administrative and cultural spheres. It will appeal not only to students of Egyptology but also, because of the interactions of the Saite Dynasty with the Aegean and Mesopotamia worlds, to anyone interested in |
