Document Details : Title: A New History of the Ancient Near East, Part 3 Author(s): VAN DE MIEROOP, Marc Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 81 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2024 Pages: 173-204 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.81.3.3294114 Abstract : The final two volumes of the Oxford History of the Ancient Near East project, both of which appeared in 2023, cover the period from around 1100 to 330 BC. This review aims to show how the two major empires of the period, Assyria and Persia, are presented to the reader and contextualized within broader temporal and geographic parameters, by discussing the volumes as single units and by surveying the individual chapters. Some remarks about the state of the study of ancient Near Eastern history close the review. |
