"The Penguin Atlas of Ancient History" illustrates, in a chronological series of maps, the evolution and flux of races in Europe, the Mediterranean area, and the Near East. From 50,000 B.C. to the fourth century A.D. the maps and their accompanying commentaries follow the ages of Stone, Bronze and Iron and trace the movements and cultural developments of Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Indians, Hittites, Assyrians, Greeks, Persians, Celts, Etruscans, Carthaginians, Goths, Romans and many other peoples. This is a companion to the "The New Penguin Atlas of Medieval History", "The Penguin Atlas of Modern History (to 1815)" and "The New Penguin Atlas of Recent History".
