Great Events from History: The Ancient World-Vol.2

Great Events from History: The Ancient World, Prehistory to 476 C.E. covers this period by giving extensive attention to a wide geographical area and a significant number of women. Events involving prehistoic cultures and social and cultural developments are consistently included. Discrete events such as battles or deaths to longer, less definite events such as the rise and fall of a culture that took place in the ancient world are covered in this set. The date of 476 C.E., the fall of Rome, was selected by the editors as the cutoff between the ancient world and the Middle Ages.
