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. 606 $aPolitical culture$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aPolitical culture$zRome$xHistory 606 $aSocial change$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSocial change$zRome$xHistory 607 $aGreece$xPolitics and government$yTo 146 B.C 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government 607 $aGreece$xPolitics and government$yTo 146 B.C$xHistoriography 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$xHistoriography 607 $aGreece$xPolitics and government$yTo 146 B.C$vSources 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$vSources 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a938 700 $aBlits$b Jan H$0994163 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463276703321 996 $aTelling, turning moments in the classical political world$92276874 997 $aUNINA
