This volume of the second edition of the Cambridge Ancient History traces the history of Rome from its origins to the eve of the Second Punic War. Although the period covered is essentially the same as in the undivided Volume VII of the first edition, the treatment of the material is completely fresh and is much more extensive.

Volume VIII deals with the comparatively short but eventful period in which Rome acquired effective political mastery of the Mediterranean lands.

Volume VI of the new edition of The Cambridge Ancient History covers years which include the rise of Macedon and the campaigns of Alexander the Great. The volume treats the politics and economy not only of old Greece but also of the Near East and the western Mediterranean.

The new edition of this definitive reference work has involved the complete re-writing of every volume. The series has been extended by two volumes to cover events up to AD 650, bringing the total number of volumes in the set to fourteen. Plates to the volumes are available separately.

The period described in this volume begins in the year after the death of Julius Caesar and ends in the year after the fall of Nero.

Part II of volume I deals with the history of the Near East from about 3000 to 1750 B.C.

This volume provides an account of what is known about the remotest geological ages and comprises chapters on the different kinds of evidence concerning man and his physical environment. The text offers a setting against which the cultural progress of the historical epoch can be viewed.

Volume IX of the second edition of The Cambridge Ancient History has for its main theme the process commonly known as the 'Fall of the Roman Republic'.

Volume III, Part I is devoted to describing the tenth to the eighth centuries B. C.

Volume III Part II carries on the history of the Near East from the close of Volume III Part I and covers roughly the same chronological period as Volume III Part III. It describes the rise and fall of the great empires of Assyria and Babylonia, the sack of Jerusalem and the exile of the Jews in Babylon.

The fifth century BC was not only the first Classic age of European civilisation. It was the first and last period before the Romans in which great political and military power was located in the same place as cultural importance. This volume therefore is more narrowly focused geographically than its predecessors and successors, and hardly strays beyond Greece.

This volume covers c.525 to 479 BC, a period which saw events and developments of major significance in the Mediterranean world.

Volume II, Part I, deals with the history of the region from about 1800 to 1380 BC.

Volume XI of the second edition of The Cambridge Ancient History examines the political and military history of the period from Vespasian to the Antonines and developments in the structure of the empire.
