5 ancient history 3 The Routledge History of the Ancient World Series Series Editor: F.G.B. Millar, Brasenose College, University of Oxford, UK Designed for undergraduate and upper-level school students, the volumes in this series provide a complete history of the ancient world. Emphasis is put on the plentiful quotation of original source material in translation, and the full notes and bibliography enable students to pursue further topics independently. 2nd Edition Greece in the Making BC Robin Osborne, University of Cambridge, UK Greece in the Making BC is an accessible and comprehensive account of Greek history from the end of the Bronze Age to the Classical Period. The first edition of this book broke new ground by acknowledging that, barring a small number of archaic poems and inscriptions, the majority of our literary evidence for archaic Greece reported only what later writers wanted to tell, and so was subject to systematic selection and distortion. This book offers a narrative which acknowledges the later traditions, as traditions, but insists that we must primarily confront the contemporary evidence, which is in large part archaeological and art historical, and must make sense of it in its own terms. In this second edition Robin Osborne has addressed more explicitly the weaknesses and unsustainable interpretations which the first edition chose merely to pass over. He now spells out why this book features no rise of the polis and no colonization, and why the treatment of Greek settlement abroad is necessarily spread over various chapters. Selected Contents: 1. The Traditions of History 2. Setting the Stage 3. The Problem of Beginnings 4. Forming Communities: The Eighth Century BC 5. The World of Hesiod and of Homer 6. Reforming Communities: The Seventh Century BC 7. The Greek World in 600BC 8. Inter-Relating Cities: The Short Sixth Century ( BC) 9. The Transformation of Archaic Greece BC March 2009: 234x156: 400pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $41.95 ebook: rd Edition The Greek World BC Simon Hornblower To write a standard history which contains the essential material and yet is interesting and says things which have not been said before is one of the hardest tasks. Hornblower has performed it excellently. Times Literary Supplement Hornblower s excellence as a historian... re-establishes the book s position as a benchmark for historians... It is packed to the brim... with an abundance of erudite observations. Scholia Reviews The Greek World BC has been an indispensable guide to classical Greek history since its first publication.

The extensive changes include: two important new chapters Argos, and the Peloponnesian War the incorporation of further primary sources more than thirty new illustrations the insertion of user-friendly subheadings a completely updated bibliography. With valuable coverage of the broader Mediterranean world in which Greek culture flourished, as well as close examination of Athens, Sparta, and the other great city-states of Greece itself, this third edition of a classic work is a more essential read than ever before. 2002: 234x156: 416pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $42.95 ebook: CONTACT US for more information, classical_studies@routledge.com ebooks: eupdates:

6 4 ancient history The Routledge History of the Ancient World Series (continued) The Greek World After Alexander BC Graham Shipley This is an excellent book, the best introduction to the Hellenistic world available in English, and perhaps the best single-volume introduction available in any language. Journal of Hellenic Studies An appraisal of the momentous military and political changes after the era of Alexander, this book considers developments in literature, religion, philosophy, and science, and establishes how far they are presented as radical departures from the culture of Classical Greece or were continuous developments from it. Graham Shipley explores the culture of the Hellenistic world in the context of the social divisions between an educated elite and a general population at once more mobile and less involved in the political life of the Greek city. 1999: 234x156: 600pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $ Winner of the AHS s 1997 James Henry Brested Award 2 Volume Set The Ancient Near East c BC Amélie Kuhrt An essential text which provides a lucid, up-to-date narrative, incorporating the latest archaeological and textual discoveries. The Beginnings of Rome Italy and Rome from the Bronze Age to the Punic Wars (c BC) T.J. Cornell Cornell s lucid review of what we know of early Rome (to 264 BC) is excellent value... The book is warmly recommended. JACT Review Cornell s is the most authoritative study of early Roman history to have been written by a single author since Beloch s Romanische Geschichte of The Beginnings of Rome is an authoritative, important, and timely book from which we are all benefiting, and from which much subsequent study of early Rome will start. The Classical Review Using the results of archaeological techniques, and examining methodological debates, The Beginnings of Rome offers insight on major issues such as: Rome s relations with the Etruscans the conflict between patricians and plebeians the causes of Roman imperialism the growth of slave-based economy. Answering the need for raising acute questions and providing an analysis of the many different kinds of archaeological evidence with literary sources, this is the most comprehensive study of the subject available, and is essential reading for students of Roman history. 1995: 234x156: 528pp Pb: : $ : 234x156: 840pp Pb Set: : $ TO ORDER see order form at the back of this catalogue.

7 ancient history 5 The Roman Republic BC Edward Bispham, Brasenose College, University of Oxford, UK This is the gripping story of the rise and fall of the Roman Republic: meteoric imperial expansion enriched and corrupted the ruling aristocracy, which was then unable either to rule the vast empire effectively or to resist the challenge of popular power within Rome itself. Political tensions, enormous wealth and imperial ambition fuelled a vicious circle of competition, in which the number of players decreased as the stakes rose, until two military dynasts, Caesar and Pompeius, went to war for control of the commonwealth. This book traces these processes in detail, but also gives more space than has been traditional to the impact of Rome s military, cultural and economic expansion on her subjects, both in Italy and in the provinces. Further, the latest archaeological research is drawn on to illustrate developments in society, religion and culture which affected much larger sections of the Mediterranean under Rome. The volume seeks to show what changes flowed from Roman rule, and how Rome itself was transformed: although the Republic failed, late republican society was a vibrant and fertile intellectual and cultural community in a phase of rapid transition, painful but brilliant. June 2010: 234x156: 568pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $ The Roman World 44 BC AD 180 Martin Goodman Martin Goodman focuses on the perspective of its peoples and its fringe areas, rather than from the Emperor s household, giving a balanced view of the Roman world in its entirety. 1997: 234x156: 416pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $45.95 ebook: The Roman Empire at Bay, AD David S. Potter The Roman Empire at Bay is an excellently written, well-documented, clearly structured, very complete and extensive book. Extremely well furnished with numismatic and prosopographical evidence and including the latest scholarship, it cannot be ignored by future scholars of the third and fourth centuries and will certainly take the place of many previous works on the subject. BMCR David S. Potter s comprehensive survey of two critical and eventful centuries traces the course of imperial decline, skilfully weaving together cultural, intellectual and political history. A striking achievement of historical synthesis combined with a compelling interpretative line, The Roman Empire at Bay, AD enables students of all periods to understand the dynamics of great imperial powers. 2004: 234x156: 784pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $49.95 ebook: The Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity AD Averil Cameron Guaranteed to last for many years...

16 14 ancient history Roman Imperial Biographies Series Julius Caesar The Colossus of Rome Richard A. Billows, Columbia University, USA Julius Caesar offers a lively, engaging, and thoroughly up-to-date account of Caesar s life and times. Richard A. Billows dynamic and fast paced narrative offers an imaginative recounting of actions and events, providing the ideal introduction to Julius Caesar for general readers and students of classics and ancient history. The book is not just a biography of Caesar, but a historical account and explanation of the decline and fall of the Roman Republican governing system, in which Caesar played a crucial part. To understand Caesar s life and role, it is necessary to grasp the political, social and economic problems Rome was grappling with, and the deep divisions within Roman society that came from them. Caesar has been seen variously as a mere opportunist, a power-hungry autocrat, an arrogant aristocrat disdaining rivals, a traditional Roman noble politician who stumbled into civil war and autocracy thanks to being misunderstood by his rivals, and even as the ideal man and pattern of all virtues. Billows argues that such portrayals fail to consider the universal testimony of our ancient sources that Roman political life was divided in Caesar s time into two great political tendencies, called optimates and populares in the sources, of which Caesar came to be the leader of one: the popularis faction. Billows suggests that it is only when we see Caesar as the leader of a great political and social movement, that had been struggling with its rival movement for decades and had been several times violently repressed in the course of that struggle, that we can understand how and why Caesar came to fight and win a civil war, and bring the traditional governing system of Rome to an end. 2008: 234x156: 336pp Hb: : $ ebook: Galerius and the Will of Diocletian Bill Leadbetter, Edith Cowan University, Australia Drawing from a variety of sources literary, visual, archaeological; papyri, inscriptions and coins the author studies the nature of Diocletian s imperial strategy, his wars, his religious views and his abdication.

Complete with notes, index and bibliography, The Republican Roman Army provides students of Ancient and Military History with an unprecedented survey of relevant materials. The Army in the Roman Revolution Arthur Keaveney, University of Kent at Canterbury, UK The Roman Revolution is one of the most momentous periods of change in history, in which an imperial but quasidemocratic power changed into an autocracy. This book studies the way the Roman army changed in the last eighty years of the Republic, so that an army of imperial conquest became transformed into a set of rival personal armies under the control of the triumvirs. It emphasizes the development of what has often been regarded as a static monolithic institution, and its centrality to political change. 2007: 234x156: 160pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $34.95 ebook: nd Edition Roman Britain David Shotter Series: Lancaster Pamphlets in Ancient History Roman Britain offers a concise introduction to the Roman occupation of Britain, drawing on the wealth of recent scholarship to explain the progress of the Romans and their objectives in conquering Britain. 2004: 216x138: 160pp Hb: : $90.00 Pb: : $ : 234x156: 320pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $ TO ORDER see order form at the back of this catalogue.

19 ancient history 17 Cicero and the Catilinarian Conspiracy Charles M. Odahl, Boise State University, USA Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies This story of Cicero and the Catilinarian Conspiracy is set within, and offers a case study of, the political, military, economic and social crises besetting the late Roman Republic in the era of the Roman Revolution. The book chronicles the efforts of the defeated radical politician Lucius Sergius Catilina to bring together a group of disaffected Roman nobles and discontented Italian farmers in a conspiracy to overthrow the republican government at Rome and to take control of the Italian peninsula (while the proconsul Pompey the Great and the majority of Roman military units were campaigning in the Near East), and the success of the conservative optimate consul Marcus Tullius Cicero in uncovering the conspiracy, driving Catiline out of Rome, and defeating his revolutionary followers in the capital and in Etruria. The narrative reveals the political corruption, economic problems, and military instability which were leading to the demise of the republican system and the rise of an imperial government in the first century BC. The author s comprehensive knowledge of the ancient sources and the modern scholarship relevant to the last century of the republic has allowed him to offer a detailed and definitive account of this important episode in Roman history. In the same seamless combination of vivid narrative and historical analysis through which he enlightened the Roman imperial age of Constantine, Charles M. Odahl here illuminates the Roman republican era of Cicero. This book is a significant publication in Ciceronian studies and will become the standard account of the Catilinarian Conspiracy.

Christianity displaced polytheism over a wide area, offering new definitions of identity and community. The Roman Empire collapsed in Western Europe to be replaced by new Germanic kingdoms. In the East, Byzantium emerged, while the Persian Empire reached its apogee and collapsed. Arab armies carrying the banner of Islam reshaped the political map and brought the late antique era to a close. This sourcebook illustrates the dramatic political, social and religious transformations of Late Antiquity through the words of the men and women who experienced them. Drawing from Greek, Latin, Syriac, Hebrew, Coptic, Persian, Arabic and Armenian sources, the carefully chosen passages illuminate the lives of emperors, abbesses, aristocrats, slaves, children, barbarian chieftains, and saints. The Roman Empire is kept at the centre of the discussion, with chapters devoted to its government, cities, army, law, medicine, domestic life, philosophy, Christianity, polytheism, and Jews. Further chapters deal with the peoples who surrounded the Roman state: Persians, Huns, northern Germanic barbarians, and the followers of Islam. This revised and updated second edition provides an expanded view of Late Antiquity with a new chapter on domestic life, as well extra material throughout, including passages that appear for the first time in English translation. Readings in Late Antiquity is the only sourcebook that covers such a wide range of topics over the full breadth of the late antique period.

25 ancient society and culture 23 Animals in Greek and Roman Thought An Anthology of Readings Stephen Newmyer, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, USA How did the Greeks and Romans treat animals? The campaign for animal rights has grown enormously during the liberal latter half of the twentieth century. However, ethical debate over animals and the way that humans treat them can be traced back to the philosophers and literati of the ancient world. From Plutarch s passioned arguments for animals as rational and sentient beings, to Aristotle s lowly placement of them in his Chain of Being, or scala naturae, it is clear that modern debate owes much to the Ancients. Animals in Greek and Roman Thought brings together new translations of classical passages which contributed to ancient world debate of animals and their rights. Ancient texts by both literary authors and philosophers, some of which are translated into English for the first time, debate such questions such as: How do animals differ from humans intellectually? Were animals created for the use of humankind? Should animals be used for food, sport, or sacrifice? Can animals be our friends? Arranged thematically for ease of reference, this book will be an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and academics in philosophy and ethics, classical studies and ancient science.

27 Ancient society and culture 25 Athens A University City Niall Livingstone, University of Birmingham, UK In the late fifth century BC, Athens prosperity was a magnet for ambitious teachers, and increasingly for students also. They came to experience and acquire the Athenian culture, the mark of civilized humanity. At Athens they could sample many teachers: experts in history, poetry, cosmology, persuasive speech, mathematical sciences and theology, and in the fiercely contested fields of statecraft and philosophy. But the city offered more than this. Besides its great works of visual art and architecture, its gymnasia and other meeting places, and a cosmopolitan international port, there were regular public festivals involving artistic display and competition. The unique democratic governance of the city meant a daily diet of political questions and arguments in the courts, council and assembly: for foreign visitors, constant material for discussion: for the Athenian citizens themselves, a participatory forum of hands-on learning. Athens has been synonymous with the life of the intellect, and Athens: A University City tells you just why. It is more than a history of education in terms of curriculum and shows the position of education and ideas in ancient Athens as a whole, providing an understanding of Athenian intellectual culture across the whole social range, and within its socio-political context. December 2010: 216x138: 288pp Hb: : $ Plutarch and Athens Hubert Martin, University of Kentucky, USA Whilst students of Greek history enjoy Plutarch s biographies of Athenian statesmen, they often feel overwhelmed by the detail and are puzzled by questions of reliability, sources and purpose.

28 26 Ancient society and culture Greek and Roman Education A Sourcebook Mark Joyal, University of Manitoba, Canada, Iain McDougall, University of Winnipeg, Canada and J.C. Yardley, University of Ottawa, Canada Series: Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World Modern western education finds its origins in the practices, systems and schools of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is in the field of education, in fact, that classical antiquity has exerted one of its clearest influences on the modern world. Yet the story of Greek and Roman education, extending from the eighth century B.C. into the Middle Ages, is familiar in its details only to relatively few specialists. Containing nearly 300 translated texts and documents, Greek and Roman Education: A Sourcebook is the first book to provide readers with a large, diverse and representative sample of the primary evidence for ancient Greek and Roman education. A special feature of this sourcebook is the inclusion not only of the fundamental texts for the study of the subject, but also unfamiliar sources that are of great interest but are not easily accessible, including inscriptions on stone and Greek papyri from Egypt. Introductions to each chapter and to each selection provide the guidance which readers need to set the historical periods, themes and topics into meaningful contexts. Fully illustrated and including extensive suggestions for further reading, together with an index of passages explored, students will have no further need for any other sourcebook on Greek and Roman education. 2008: 234x156: 320pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $35.95 ebook: A Legal History of Rome George Mousourakis, University of Auckland, New Zealand This book equips both lawyer and historian with a complete history of Roman law, from its beginnings c.1000 BC through to its re-discovery in Europe where it was widely applied until the eighteenth century.

This engaging book collects and examines artistic evidence and literary references to female clothing, cosmetics and ornament in Roman antiquity, deciphering their meaning and revealing what it meant to be an adorned woman in Roman society. Cosmetics, ornaments and fashion were often considered frivolous, wasteful or deceptive, which reflects ancient views about the nature of women. However, Kelly Olson uses literary evidence to argue that women often took pleasure in fashioning themselves, and many treated adornment as a significant activity, enjoying the social status, influence and power that it signified. 2008: 234x156: 192pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $ CONTACT US for more information, classical_studies@routledge.com ebooks: eupdates:

Times Higher Education Supplement This lavishly illustrated book brings together, for the first time, all of the different ways in which vase-painting portrays or refers to pederasty, from scenes of courtship, foreplay, and sex, to scenes of Zeus with his boy-love Ganymede, to painted inscriptions praising the beauty of boys. The book shows how painters used the language of vase-painting to cast pederasty in an idealizing light, portraying it as part of a world in which beautiful elite males display praiseworthy attitudes, such as moderation, and engage in approved activities, such as hunting, athletics, and the symposium. The book also incorporates a comprehensive catalogue of relevant vase-paintings, compiled by noted archaeologist Keith DeVries. It is the most comprehensive treatment available of an institution that has few modern parallels. Selected Contents: Introduction. Textual Evidence. The Iconography of Pederasty. What is Iconography?

34 32 greek and latin literature 2nd Edition Three Plays by Aristophanes Staging Women Translated and Edited by Jeffrey Henderson, Boston University, USA Series: New Classical Canon The translations of the three plays, Lysistrata, Women at the Thesmophoria, and Assemblywomen, are straightforward, reliable, and fun to read. Readers interested in women s history and gender studies will especially welcome Henderson s contribution to their fields. Bryn Mawr Classical Review These three plays by the great comic playwright Aristophanes (c BCE), the well-known Lysistrata, and the less familiar Women at the Thesmophoria and Assemblywomen, are the earliest surviving portrayals of contemporary women in the European literary tradition. These plays provide a unique glimpse of women not only in their familiar domestic roles but also in relation to household and city, religion and government, war and peace, theatre and festival, and, of course, to men. This revised edition presents all three plays in faithful modern translations that preserve intact Aristophanes blunt and often obscene language, sparkling satire, political provocation, and beguiling fantasy. Alongside the translations are ample introductions and notes covering the politically engaged genre of Aristophanic comedy in general and issues of sex and gender in particular, which have been fully updated since the first edition in light of recent scholarship. An appendix contains fragments of lost plays of Aristophanes that also featured women, and an up-to-date bibliography provides guidance for further exploration. In addition to their timeless humour and biting satire, the plays are unique and invaluable documents in the history of western sexuality and gender, and they offer strikingly prescient speculations about the social and political future of the female sex.

36 34 Ancient religion and mythology Ancient Graffiti in Context Edited by Jennifer Baird and Claire Taylor Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies Graffiti is very common within the ancient world, but remains underexploited as a form of archaeological or historical evidence. This volume interrogates this cultural phenomenon and by doing so brings it into the mainstream of ancient history and archaeology. Focusing on different approaches to and interpretations of graffiti from a variety of sites and chronological contexts, Jennifer Baird and Claire Taylor pose a series of questions not previously asked of this evidence, such as: What is graffiti, and how can we interpret it? What ways, and with whom, do graffiti communicate? To what extent does graffiti represent or subvert the cultural values of the society in which it occurs? By comparing themes across time and space in the ancient world, the authors are able to define and contextualize graffiti, and provide a series of interpretative strategies for scholars and students of the ancient world. Ancient graffiti ranges from texts and images written or drawn both inside and outside buildings, in public and private places, to those on monuments in the city and on mountains in the countryside; what unites them conceptually is that they can be seen as actively engaging with their environment in a variety of ways. This book explores these engagements and demonstrates how differences of scale and spatial dynamics can be negotiated, and as such will be essential reading for classical archaeologists and historians alike.

41 ancient religion and mythology 39 Religious Dissent in the Roman Empire Vasily Rudich, Yale University, USA Series: Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies This is the third in Vasily Rudich s trilogy on the intellectual roots of opposition to Nero s rule. The author s approach is based in his own experience, as a Russian exile, of the dissident mentality in the former Soviet Union, which gives the critical treatment of the sources an intriguing personal slant. The book begins with a historical perspective on Rome s relationship with the Greeks and the Jews from their earliest contacts through the period of expansion to the fall of the Roman republic, and further chapters are dedicated to the Principate of Augustus, Judaea s triple administration, the political and cultural vicissitudes of Greeks, Jews and Christians in the period between the death of Augustus and the accession of Nero, the beginnings of the Christian Church, and the conditions of the Jewish community in Rome.

That influence extended well beyond Rome to the Christian East through his contribution to preparations for the Council of Chalcedon and its outcome. For this he was alternately praised and vilified by the opposing parties at the Council. Leo made his views known through letters, and a vast number of homilies. While so many of these survive, Leo and his works have not been the subject of a major English-language socio-historical study in over fifty years. In this brief introduction to the life and works of this important leader of the early church, we gain a more accurate picture of the circumstances and pressures which were brought to bear on his pontificate. A brief introduction surveys the scanty sources which document Leo s early life, and sets his pontificate in its historical context, as the Western Roman Empire went into serious decline, and Rome lost its former status as the western capital. Annotated translations of various excerpts of Leo s letters and homilies are organized around four themes dealing with specific aspects of Leo s activity as bishop of Rome: Leo as spiritual adviser on the life of the faithful Leo as opponent of heresy the bishop of Rome as civic and ecclesiastical administrator Leo and the primacy of Rome. Taking each of these key elements of Leo s pontifical activities into account, we gain a more balanced picture of the context and contribution of his best-known writings on Christology. This volume offers an affordable introduction to the subject for both teachers and students of ancient and medieval Christianity.

By grounding the exploration in ritual theory, Greco-Roman ritual life, and the material record of the ancient Mediterranean, it offers new and insightful perspectives on early Christian communities and their cultural environment.

Pompeii has been continuously excavated and studied since Early scholars working in Pompeii and other sites associated with the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius were seduced by the wealth of artefacts and wall paintings yielded by the site. This meant that the less visually attractive evidence, such as human skeletal remains, were largely ignored. Recognizing the important contribution of the human skeletal evidence to the archaeology of Pompeii, Resurrecting Pompeii remedies that misdemeanour, and provides students of archaeology and history with an essential resource in the study of this fascinating historical event.

Harding, University of Edinburgh, UK More wide ranging, both geographically and chronologically, than any previous study, this well-illustrated book offers a new definition of Celtic art. Tempering the much-adopted art-historical approach, D.W. Harding argues for a broader definition of Celtic art and views it within a much wider archaeological context. He re-asserts ancient Celtic identity after a decade of deconstruction in English-language archaeology. Harding makes the case that there were communities in Iron Age Europe that were identified historically as Celts, regarded themselves as Celtic, or who spoke Celtic languages, and that the art of these communities may reasonably be regarded as Celtic art.

48 46 ancient near east and egypt IN PAPERBACK The Persian Empire A Corpus of Sources from the Achaemenid Period Amélie Kuhrt, University College London, UK This lavish set of books contains the most complete collection of raw material for reconstructing the history of the Achaemenid Persian Empire to date. Studying Achaemenid history has been difficult in the past because original sources include texts from hugely disparate origins, many different languages and various periods in history; the risk is to rely too heavily on biased and often inaccurate Greek and Roman sources. Amélie Kuhrt presents here an unprecedented collection of key texts to form a balanced representation of all aspects of the Empire, in translations from their original Greek, Old Persian, Akkadian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Egyptian or Latin. Kuhrt selects from classical writers, the Old Testament, royal inscriptions, administrative documents and Babylonian historical writing, as well as the evidence of monuments, artefacts and archaeological sites. All material is accompanied by a detailed introduction to the sources and guidelines to their interpretation. A truly monumental achievement, this collection will prove to be a major resource for any student of Persian history, from undergraduate level to the advanced scholar. 2007: 246x189: 1072pp Hb: : $ Pb: : $62.95 ebook: The Nubian Past An Archaeology of the Sudan David N.

49 ancient near east and egypt 47 Ctesias History of Persia Tales of the Orient LLoyd Llewellyn-Jones, University of Edinburgh, UK and James Robson, The Open University, UK Series: Routledge Classical Translations Series Towards the end of the fifth century BC Ctesias of Cnidus wrote his twenty-third book History of Persia. Ctesias is a remarkable figure: he lived and worked in the Persian court and, as a doctor, tended to the world s most powerful kings and queens. His position gave him special insight into the workings of Persian court life and access to the gossip and scandal surrounding Persian history and court politics, past and present. His History of Persia was completed at a time when the Greeks were fascinated by Persia and seems very much to cater to contemporary interest in Persian wealth and opulence, powerful Persian women, the institution of the harem, kings and queens, eunuchs and secret plots. Presented here in English translation for the first time with commentaries, Ctesias offers a fascinating insight into Persia in the fifth century BC.

Allen, Southern University, USA Series: African Studies Scholars in Egyptology have often debated the following question: was the ancient Egyptian society organized along patrilineal or matrilineal lines? In taking a fresh and innovative look at the ancient Egyptian family, Troy D. Allen attempts to solve this long-standing puzzle. Allen argues that the matrilineal nature of the ancient Egyptian family and social organization provides us with the key to understanding why and how ancient Egyptian women were able to rise to power, study medicine, and enjoy basic freedoms that did not emerge in Western Civilization until the twentieth century. More importantly, by examining the types of families that existed in ancient Egypt along with highlighting the ancient Egyptians kinship terms, we can place the ancient Egyptian civilization in the cultural context and incubator of Black Africa.
