Thebes

"Nicholas Rockwell has produced a judicious and reliable history of Thebes. Thebes: A History will satisfy readers' desires for a clear account of the long and tumultuous history of central Greece's most significant city, from its beginnings in the second millennium to Roman times."

- Daniel Berman, Temple University, USA

"Rockwell's Thebes: A History is a fine study in the military and political activities of the city-state. The analysis in these arenas is detailed and thorough, providing excellent information for scholars and students studying one of the most important, though often underappreciated, city-states of ancient Hellas."
