Recenzii
"Nicholas Rockwell has produced a judicious and reliable history of Thebes. Thebes: A History will satisfy readers' desires for a clear account of the long and tumultuous history of central Greece's most significant city, from its beginnings in the second millennium to Roman times."
- Daniel Berman, Temple University, USA
"Rockwell's Thebes: A History is a fine study in the military and political activities of the city-state. The analysis in these arenas is detailed and thorough, providing excellent information for scholars and students studying one of the most important, though often underappreciated, city-states of ancient Hellas."

Descriere
Thebes offers a scholarly survey of the history and archaeology of the city. Discussions of major developments in politics, war, society and culture form the basis of a chronological examination of one of Greece’s most powerful and dynamic cities. By taking a broad view, the book’s account speaks to larger trends in the ancient Mediterranean world while also demonstrating how Thebes was unique in its ancient context. It provides an up-to-date examination of all available information: topographic, demographic, numismatic, epigraphic, archaeological and textual discussions provide the most complete, current picture of ancient Thebes and illustrate the value of an interdisciplinary approach.
