Ancient History | Professional literature for training, studies and practice

In the Ancient History category, you will find in-depth works on the history of the Greek and Roman worlds, as well as on neighboring cultures such as the Phoenicians, the Huns, and Minoan Crete. The titles cover periods ranging from the Stone Age through the Roman Republic and Empire to Late Antiquity, and address key events such as the Battle of Varus, the Punic Wars, or the reigns of significant rulers like Alexander the Great, Caesar, or Diocletian. In addition to political and military developments, the collection explores daily life, mythology, archaeology, and the legacy of ancient civilizations—for example, through illustrated books, biographies, and studies on forgotten peoples and places.

The selection includes introductions, historical overviews, biographies, and visual representations such as atlases or infographics. The target audience consists of history enthusiasts, students of archaeology and classical studies, as well as readers interested in cultural-historical contexts or the reception of antiquity in the modern era. Works such as “Antiquity in Berlin” or “Understanding Rome” combine regional references with overarching themes.
