The Ancient World is the perfect subject for Stephen Biesty's illustrations. They are beautifully constructed, technologically advanced and teaming with life. There are cross-sections, cut-aways and explosions, authoritative annotations, lists and explanations. Visit the Colosseum, the Forum, the Baths and chariot racing at the Circus of Maximus in ancient Rome. Be dazzled by the Valley of the Kings, the pyramids and Sphinx of Giza, preparations of a mummy and an Egyptian funeral in the world of the Pharaohs. Explore ancient Greece including Athenian warships at the sacred island of Delos, the rich silver mines of Laurion, the Acropolis and the sacred oracle at Delphi.
