The Hellenistic World from Alexander to the Roman Conquest: A Selection of Ancient Sources in Translation

Beginning with Alexander and ending with the Roman conquest of the Greek world, the Hellenistic period has been receiving increasing recognition from ancient historians. This new and enlarged edition of Michel Austin's seminal work provides a panoramic view of the Hellenistic world through the medium of ancient sources. It now comprises over three hundred texts from literary, epigraphic and papyrological sources which are presented in original translations and supported by introductory sections, detailed notes and references, chronological tables, maps, illustrations of coins, and a full analytical index.
