About a quarter million of these lived in Athens. The average size of urban households during this period grew considerably, a fact that suggests that food was suddenly available in excesses sufficient to keep larger families healthy and alive much more effectively than just a millennium earlier. Bigger families meant bigger armies and larger communities that would eventually grow into the metropolises of Classical Greece. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis incredible stretch of time is called Classical Antiquity; the age in which Western civilization first realized its potential and place in the world. The era brought on big changes for all the people of the Mediterranean. Thanks to new agricultural methods, seafaring technology, and trade, great civilizations sprang up around the sea, building large urban centers full of artists, merchants, political thinkers, scientists, and philosophers. As Greco-Roman culture grew, the relationships each city and realm had with one another also developed and changed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eClassical Antiquity: A Captivating Guide to Ancient Greece and Rome and How These Civilizations Influenced Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia\u003c\/i\u003e, you will discover topics such as\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Blind Poet from Ionia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePythagoras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAthens, Greece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Greek Pantheon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Expulsion of the Persians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlavery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Golden Age of Athens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePericles at War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Socratic Method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexander the Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hellenistic Period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Greece to Rome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Roman Republic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Borrowed Gods of Rome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Classical Romans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gladiators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJulius Caesar, Part 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJulius Caesar, Part 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Roman Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe City of Pompeii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntonine and Cyprian Plagues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBritannia and Londinium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemnants of Classical Antiquity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more\u0026gt;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo if you want to learn more about Classical Antiquity, scroll up and click the add to cart button\u0026gt;\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50369969946897,"sku":"CIN1095338021G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51019618353425,"sku":"NIN9781095338025","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53154737619217,"sku":"GOR014784059","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1095338021.jpg?v=1750791590"},{"product_id":"peloponnesian-war-book-captivating-history-9781796556087","title":"The Peloponnesian War","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50402500673809,"sku":"CIN1796556084G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052103860497,"sku":"NIN9781796556087","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1796556084.jpg?v=1751411395"},{"product_id":"alexander-the-great-book-captivating-history-9781637163269","title":"Alexander the Great","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50827581030673,"sku":"CIN1637163266VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041389347089,"sku":"NIN9781637163269","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51068270772497,"sku":"GOR014167484","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51713019478289,"sku":"CIN1637163266G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1637163266.jpg?v=1750800309"},{"product_id":"greco-persian-wars-book-captivating-history-9781092148511","title":"The Greco-Persian Wars","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ -
