Produktinformationen "Ancient Media (Illustrated Edition)"

Ancient Media (Illustrated Edition) reconstructs the history, geography, institutions, and material culture of the Median people, whose empire formed a crucial bridge between Assyria, Persia, and the classical world. Written in the lucid, evidentiary style of nineteenth-century historical scholarship, the book combines classical testimony, biblical references, and archaeological observation to present Media not as a mere prelude to Achaemenid Persia, but as a formative power in Near Eastern civilization. The illustrations further anchor Rawlinson's narrative in monuments, landscapes, and artifacts, enriching its antiquarian texture. George Rawlinson, a distinguished historian, clergyman, and Camden Professor of Ancient History at Oxford, was deeply shaped by the philological and archaeological currents of Victorian scholarship. Brother of the Assyriologist Henry Rawlinson, he worked in an intellectual milieu newly energized by cuneiform decipherment and Near Eastern excavation. His interest in Media reflects both scholarly ambition and the era's desire to reconcile classical history with emerging archaeological evidence. This volume is recommended to readers interested in ancient empires, biblical history, and the development of early Iranian studies. Though marked by its period, it remains a valuable, learned introduction to a civilization too often overshadowed by its successors.
