All the moments-from Theseus's founding of Athens to Augustus's establishment of the Principate-possess the double character of being turning points and revealing fundamental aspects of the ancient political world. By examining ancient histories as works of reflection rather than works of research, Blits reveals the way ancient historians understand_and intend us to understand_the ancient world.Political cultureGreeceHistoryTo 1500Political cultureRomeHistorySocial changeGreeceHistoryTo 1500Social changeRomeHistoryGreecePolitics and governmentTo 146 B.CRomePolitics and governmentGreecePolitics and governmentTo 146 B.CHistoriographyRomePolitics and governmentHistoriographyGreecePolitics and governmentTo 146 B.CSourcesRomePolitics and governmentSourcesElectronic books.Political cultureHistoryPolitical cultureHistory.Social changeHistorySocial changeHistory.938Blits Jan H994163MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463276703321Telling, turning moments in the classical political world2276874UNINA
