Miscellany of Ancient History

Readers of this book can become apprised of the history of cities and
kingdoms and epic deeds in ancient history. The book includes a
collection of papers on the birth of empires and world civilisation
landmarks such as the foundation of the city of Carthage and its
African origins. In this connection, the author did not just describe
features of the dawn of Carthage, but stressed the universal dimension
of the Carthaginian Constitution which led major legislators and
philosophers to laud its contents. Aristotle in his book on politics
praised the liberational content and institutionalising tools called for
by that constitution. The book also shows the coexistence between
different cultures, tribes and religious rites, the spread of a number of
cultures and linguistic mutations in the Near East, raising the
problematic of Roman conquest. In a nutshell, the book is a set of
meditations on the concepts of wisdom, paganism and monotheism,
and differences between systems of government and the course of
their historical development similar to the changes that affected
democratic systems.
