Travel back to the first great cities with one of Victorian scholarship's great monuments to the ancient Middle East kingdoms. In this sweeping study of the Seven Great Monarchies, George Rawlinson traces the rise and fall of Chaldaea, Assyria, Babylon, Media, Persia, Parthia, and the Sassanian or New Persian Empire across millennia of conflict, culture, and faith. These empires shaped our civilisation. Drawing on early cuneiform discoveries, classical writers, and biblical references, Rawlinson offers a vivid panorama of ancient Near East history where desert capitals, riverine cities, and mountain fortresses define the story of Mesopotamian civilizations history and Persian empire history alike. Both a classic ancient history reference and a work of literary power, The Seven Great Monarchies illuminates the landscapes, peoples, religions, and arts behind chaldea and babylon history, the assyrian and median empires, and the parthian and sassanian dynasties. Written by one of the nineteenth century's leading historians, it stands as a cornerstone of classic 19th century history, valued by general readers and collectors, and ideal for history students and for biblical history readers seeking context for the ancient world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Essential for any ancient empires collection, it offers an authoritative gateway into the enduring legacy of the ancient Near and Middle East.
