Ancient Worlds by Richard Miles

Ancient Worlds by Richard Miles

Across the Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Nile Delta, awe-inspiring, monstrous ruins are scattered across the landscape - vast palaces, temples, fortresses, shattered statues of ancient gods, carvings praising the eternal power of long-forgotten dynasties. This book recreates these cities, ranging from the Euphrates to the Roman Empire.

[for Carthage Must Be Destroyed]: Richard Miles tells this story with tremendous elan, combining the best of modern scholarship with narrative pace and energyIt is a superb achievement, a model for all such endeavours. He is even better on the little-known background to this tale -- Peter Jones The Telegraph [for Carthage Must Be Destroyed]: Miles ... has written an epic and fascinating new history of the city ... [and] performed a splendid feat of resurrectionism -- Tom Holland The Spectator
