This is a well known book within classical circles but for ordinary interested people like myself, once I found out about it, it was like my own personal window into the beginning of the last two thousand years. Written by someone who was alive around that time. It doesn't all check out with currant thinking but that is the great thing! to get another point of view instead of just the present text books. The wonderful thing is I bought it for 67p, How's that for a deal!!!
