The Treasures of Alexander the Great: How One Man's Wealth Shaped the World
ISBN: 9780199950966 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. War, the most profitable economic activity in the ancient world, transferred wealth from the vanquished to the victor. Invasions, sieges, massacres, annexations, and mass deportations all redistributed property with dramatic consequences for kings and commoners alike. No conqueror ever captured more people or property in so short a lifetime than Alexander the Great in the late fourth century BC. For all its savagery, the creation of Alexander's empire has generally been hailed as a positive economic event for all concerned. Even those harshly critical of Alexander today tend to praise his...

ISBN: 9780520244832 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To all those who witnessed his extraordinary conquests, from Albania to India, Alexander the Great appeared invincible.

Holt's absorbing book.
Solid evidence for the "supernaturalized" Alexander lies in a rare series of medallions that depict the triumphant young king at war against the elephants, archers, and chariots of Rajah Porus of India at the Battle of the Hydaspes River.

Alexander the Great and Bactria: The Formation of a Greek Frontier in Central Asia
ISBN: 9789004086128 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The creation of a Greek Frontier in Central Asia was one of the most famous and far-reaching achievements of Alexander the Great. Yet the process was shaped as much by the political traditions of the natives as by the cultural traditions of the newcomers. This book examines this key historical clash from both sides, and shows that the birth of Hellenistic Bactria was a traumatic one eliciting more bitterness than 'brotherhood'.
The book is composed of four major parts: Part I provides an introduction to both Bactrian and Alexander studies; Part II surveys the land and peoples of Central...
