"Text" Collection.

On issues as diverse as homosexuality in Greece, the course and effects of the Nile flood, the historicity of Jesus, or the true identity of the author of the Satyricon, our knowledge of ancient societies, their worldview, and their ways of life is constantly progressing. This is most often due to new readings of texts (and inscriptions) and to the spectacular progress of archaeology, which is able to draw great historical lessons from objects that were once neglected.

Under the lively and erudite pen of Maurice Sartre, facts of civilization, cultural habits, and religious aspects are shed new light. The thirty-five chronicles contained in this work restore ancient history to its full appeal.
