Facilitates an understanding of the ancient Mediterranean world as a unity, just as the Mediterranean world is in its turn presented as part of a larger whole
Covers the entire ancient Mediterranean world from pre-history through to the rise of Islam in the seventh century A.D.
Features a diverse collection of images, maps, diagrams, tables, and a chronological chart to aid comprehension
