Product Description

The Aegean is a unique region, in which several ancient civilizations developed. Despite the problems the sea posed for communications and everyday life, human settlement and organization are well attested from earliest times. Moreover, some extremely important cultures took shape in the Neolithic and the Bronze Age. The cultures of the Cycladic islanders, the Minoans and the Therans, were followed by the Egyptians and the Phoenicians. Strong cities and mighty hegemonies arose, such as Euboea, Athens, Macedonia, Thasos and Rhodes, while the Romans had to conquer the whole region in order to cross the sea securely and extend their power further east.
