However, narratives about the "civilized" Greek and Roman empires resisting the barbarians at the gate are far from accurate. Tony Spawforth, an esteemed scholar, author, and media contributor, follows the thread of civilization through more than six millennia of history. His story reveals that Greek and Roman civilization, to varying degrees, was supremely and surprisingly receptive to external influences, particularly from the East.   From the rise of the Mycenaean world of the sixteenth century B.C., Spawforth traces a path through the ancient Aegean to the zenith of the Hellenic state and the rise of the Roman empire, the coming of Christianity and the consequences of the first caliphate. Deeply informed, provocative, and entirely fresh, this is the first and only accessible work that tells the extraordinary story of the classical world in its entirety. 606 $aHISTORY / Civilization$2bisacsh 607 $aRome$xCivilization 607 $aGreece$xCivilization$yTo 146 B.C 615 7$aHISTORY / Civilization. 676 $a937 686 $aNH 5050$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aSpawforth$b Antony$0253464 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793379103321 996 $aThe story of Greece and Rome$93770662 997 $aUNINA
