Product Information

This is a study of the history of Asia Minor in antiquity. The first volume is in two parts. The first examines the region in the Hellenistic period, when it was dominated by Celtic tribes who settled in the interior of Asia Minor in the first half of the third century BC. The second covers the period of the Roman Empire and looks in detail at the changes brough about by imperial rule. Two relationships dominated every aspect of Asia Minor's history throughout the period: that of the people to the land and that of men to the gods. Anienormous quantity of information derived from written sources, archaeological remains, inscriptions, and coins make it possible to explore these relationships sat at a level of detail which is hardly possible for any other par tof the ancient world. Both themes have a significance which reached far beyond the boundaries.
