£32.40Rome and Attila: Rome’s Greatest Enemy (The Fall of the Roman Empire)
£11.99In the first major work written about Attila in decades, Nick Holmes rewrites the story of Attila and Rome. Contrary to his brutal legend, Attila was a complex and captivating personality. A great warlord who despised ostentation, admired bravery and valued loyalty.
He led his steppe nomads further west than Genghis Khan or Tamerlane. He nearly destroyed the Roman Empire. But his vast ambition undid him. This book is a must read for those interested in Rome, the Huns and military history.
This is the third volume in Nick Holmes’ series on The Fall of the Roman Empire. The first volume,
The Roman Revolution, covers the little known ‘crisis of the third century’ when barbarian invasions nearly destroyed classical Rome and led to a revolution in Roman government, the army and religion, including the extraordinary growth of Christianity. The second volume, The Fall of Rome, covers the barbarian invasions of the western half of the empire, culminating in the sack of Rome itself by the Goths in AD 410. Further volumes will continue Rome’s turbulent history, from its revival under the emperor Justinian to the rise of Islam, the beginnings of Byzantium and the dawn of the Middle Ages.The Akkadian Empire: An Enthralling Overview of the Rise and Fall of the Akkadians (History of Mesopotamia)

Mystery Cults in the Ancient World
Mystery cults are one of the most intriguing areas of Greek and Roman religion. In the nocturnal mysteries at Eleusis, participants dramatically re-enacted the story of Demeter’s loss and recovery of her daughter Persephone; in Bacchic cult, bands of women ran wild in the Greek countryside to honour Dionysus; in the mysteries of Mithras, men came to understand the nature of the universe and their place within it through frightening initiation ceremonies and astrological teachings.
These cults were an important part of life in the ancient Mediterranean world, but their actual practices were shrouded in secrecy, and much of what they were about has remained unclear until now. This is the first book to describe and explain all the major mystery cults of the ancient world, cult by cult, reconstructing the rituals and exploring their origins. It makes plentiful use of artistic and archaeological evidence, as well as ancient literature and epigraphy. Greek painted pottery, Roman frescoes, inscribed gold tablets from Greek and South Italian tombs and the excavated sites of ancient religious sanctuaries all contribute to our understanding of ancient mystery cults. Making use of the most recent work on these cults, the book is also informed by crucial current work on the anthropology and cognitive science of religion.
Not only is this clearly written book a significant contribution to the study of these cults, but it is also accessible to a general readership. More than any other book on ancient religion, it allows the reader to understand what it was like to participate in these life-transforming religious events.

Enjoyable as an interesting introduction to these four great civilizations.Not sure about intended audience and it unfortunately really loses out as it contains no illustrations. (The disadvantage of being an e-book.)I enjoyed the Mesopotamian section most as new to me. The Roman section was, I think, the most wide-ranging and inclusive.Confused me at first as it is presented as one volume but is in fact 4 separate booklets so contents page at start of book is only for first booklet on Egypt. (I had to go looking for the contents pages for other sections and then bookmark them.)Sometimes the English sounds slightly odd.For example this section was praising the Greek pantheon and its impact on human civilization so the use of the word ‘stained’ jarred – plus the inherent tautology.“… but their legacy will live on forever and have a stained history for hundreds of years to come.”Excerpt FromGreek, Mesopotamia, Egypt & RomeHistory Brought AliveThis material may be protected by copyright.I received an advance review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book is just as good a contribution to easy-to-read reference materials and information sources as all the other books were in the series. This includes many different geographies and empires that were previously published separately. I would gladly recommend this book which will greatly contribute to our understanding, and appreciation of civilisations past and our knowledge of ancient history and culture.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Student’s History Report
First off my copy starts on page 19. No table of contents, no title pages, no publisher information; just straight to a random sentence about Egypt. The madness continues with the font size and the numerous massive gaps between paragraphs which are one or two sentences long throughout the book. Spelling errors add to the feeling that I’m not reading a work by a researcher but a student giving a report for a class. Finally the bibliography cites Wikipedia on multiple occasions, and while that isn’t itself an issue it does mean that the writer decided not to check the primary sources and just used the condensed information that was easiest to find. All of these factors make it difficult for me to take it seriously or to recommend anyone put money down on this. Bottom line: if you’re interested in the history of any of the cultures in this book you’re better off checking out work by historians that put their names on their books.

Cheap and put together wrong.
The pages are in random orders and looks like it’s cheaply put together. Brand new book waste of money. Stick to Barnes and Noble for book buying or some places else. 2nd time on Amazon I got a messed up new book. SMH should actually get negative stars
