Description

The Hellenistic Age: A World of Cultural Globalization The three centuries following Alexander's conquests are a fascinating period in ancient history. This was an era of cultural exchange, where a single language could be spoken from the Rhone to the Indus. People from different backgrounds, including Greeks, Celts, and Brahmins, interacted and influenced one another. The Hellenistic world was characterized by the rise of multi-ethnic states, federal governments, and the exploration of new lands. From the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to the Roman conquest of the Ptolemaic kingdom in 30 BC, this Very Short Introduction explores the history and culture of the vast Hellenistic world. Drawing on a range of sources, including inscriptions, papyri, coinage, poetry, art, and archaeology, Peter Thonemann provides a comprehensive overview of this pivotal period.
