Críticas
"Recommended."--Choice
"The strength of Great Empires . . . lies in its ability to highlight the varied conception and implementation of the idea of empire, enabling the reader to understand the complexity of the term 'empire' depending on its application to disparate ancient societies."--Ancient West and East
Reseña del editor
A team of internationally renowned scholars surveys the major imperial powers of the ancient world, from 1600 b.c. to a.d. 500, and ranging geographically from the ancient Mediterranean to East Asia. The authors investigate the nature of empires—including Egypt, Rome, Babylonia, Persia, India, and China—and their legacies in the modern age.
Highlights include fascinating character profiles of great rulers such as the warrior pharaohs Thutmose and Rameses of Egypt, the self-obsessed First Emperor of China, who desperately tried to cheat death, and the brilliant Roman emperor Augustus, who created the most powerful empire the world had ever seen. Special illustrated sections, called “Witness to Empire” bring these civilizations to life in the words of their leaders and inhabitants.
Not only will this book appeal to scholars and students, but its accessible text and wealth of illustrations will also feed the popular interest in this subject matter reflected in the recent success of films, television series, and museum exhibitions showcasing ancient cultures.

Summary: A distinguished team of internationally renowned scholars surveys the great empires from 1600 BC to AD 500, from the ancient Mediterranean to China, in ten comprehensive chapters, taking in the empires of New Kingdom Egypt; the Hittites; Assyria and Babylonia; Achaemenid Persia; Athens; Alexander; Parthian and early Sasanian Persia; Rome; India; and Qin and Han China. Each chapter conveys the main narrative of events, their impact on ancient societies and the dominant rulers who shaped that history, from Ramesses II in Egypt to Chandragupta in India, from Rome's Augustus to China's Shi-huangdi. Exploring the very nature of empire itself, the authors show how profoundly imperialism in the distant past influenced the 19th-century powers and the modern United States. 1 Kg.
