Sinopsis

Euphrates River Past explores the profound influence of the Euphrates River on civilization, arguing that its waters were vital to shaping societies in Mesopotamia and beyond. The book examines how the river fostered agriculture through irrigation techniques, which led to surplus food production and the rise of complex urban centers like Babylon and Ur. It also highlights the river's presence in ancient mythology, where it was both a life-giving force and a source of destruction, reflecting its dual nature in shaping human destinies.

 
The narrative progresses by first establishing the river's geographical and environmental context, then delving into the rise of Mesopotamian civilizations and their dependence on the Euphrates for agriculture and trade. Finally, the book explores the river's role in mythology and its impact on empires throughout history. By focusing on the long-term relationship between humans and the Euphrates, the book offers a unique perspective on how environmental factors have shaped human societies.

The Antonine Wall - cover

The Antonine Wall

As the most advanced frontier construction of its time, and as definitive evidence of the Romans' time in Scotland, the Antonine Wall is an invaluable and fascinating part of this country's varied and violent history. For a generation, from about AD 140 to 160, the Antonine Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire. Constructed by the Roman army, it ran from modern Bo'ness on the Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde and consisted of a turf rampart fronted by a wide and deep ditch.
At regular intervals were forts connected by a road, while outside the fort gates clustered civil settlements. Antoninus Pius, whom the wall was named after, reigned longer than any other emperor with the exception of its founder Augustus. Yet relatively little is known about him.
In this meticulously researched book, David Breeze examines this enigmatic life and the reasons for the construction and abandonment of his Wall.
