  TURNING POINTS IN ANCIENT HISTORY
  
  
  _Barry Strauss, Series Editor_
  
  
  Turning Points in Ancient History presents accessible books, by leading
  scholars, on crucial events and key moments in the ancient world. The series
  aims at fresh interpretations of both famous subjects and little-known ones
  that deserve more attention. The books provide a narrative synthesis that
  integrates literary and archaeological evidence.
