Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This text reviews the history and culture of a people who played an increasingly important role in the Near East and the Mediterranean world between the Late Bronze Age (1600-1200 BC) and the Persian period (550-300 BC). Navigators, traders, city-builders, colonizers and credited with the invention of the first Western alphabet, the Phoenicians yet remain shadowy figures. Why is this? Perhaps because, with a long history of settlements over a wide geographical area, they resist easy definition and description. This book sets out what is known of their complex history, culture, trading and political relationships, art, religion and language.

Críticas:

'A much-needed account of the shadowy people who flourished after the late Bronze Age.' History Today 'A must-have.' Antiquity
