About This Item
Thames and Hudson. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1980. Second Edition. Hardcover. 0500400393 . Spine is sunned. Scholar's name stamped to ffep (P. Stork). ; Absolute dates of events in ancient history have been difficult to calculate because of the complex adjustments and computations involved. The methods of relative dating developed by archaeologists and of direct dating established by modern science depend upon the interpretation of historical material which is virtually inaccessible. Using dates supplied by the ancients themselves, Bickerman suggests the means to convert them into units of our own dating system, thus providing an invaluable reference for all students of the ancient world. ; Aspects of Greek and Roman Life; 253 pages .
