To many, the history of post-Classical Athens is marked by decline. However, it is important to note that Athens did not lose all its allies or its naval power. In fact, Athens managed to recover from its precarious position in the closing quarter of the fourth century and re-emerged as a significant player in Greek affairs, even during the Roman occupation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAthenian democracy, which had endured and evolved through various challenges, including interactions with Hellenistic kings, military conflicts with Macedonia, and alliances with Rome, continued to thrive. Notably, famous Romans such as Julius Caesar and Mark Antony viewed Athens as much more than an isolated center for philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAthens After Empire presents a fresh narrative history of post-Classical Athens, extending the period until the aftermath of Hadrian's reign. This book delves into the complexities of Athens' political, social, and cultural landscape, providing a comprehensive understanding of this fascinating period in Greek history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 604g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 155 x 28 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780197684764\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IanWorthington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100430725370,"sku":"9780197684764","price":20.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1674814406424_book.jpg?v=1675330500","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/athens-after-empire-a-history-from-alexander-the-great-to-the-emperor-hadrian-9780197684764","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
