Assuming only minimal knowledge of classical antiquity, this clear and engaging textbook brings to life the real people who lived in the Mediterranean region, the Balkans, around the Black Sea, across North Africa, and the Near East. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than focusing on the elites, royals, and other significant figures of the period, the author draws from a wide range of ancient evidence to explore everyday Hellenistic people in their own context. Reader-friendly chapters offer fresh perspectives on well-studied areas of ancient Greek culture while providing new insights into rarely discussed aspects of day-to-day life in the Hellenistic world. Topics include daily technology, food, clothing, housing, travel, working life, slavery, education, temple economies, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContaining numerous references, further readings, photographs, and figures, \u003ci\u003eA Social and Cultural History of the Hellenistic World\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in Ancient History or Classical Studies programs, particularly those dedicated to Hellenistic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGILLIAN RAMSEY NEUGEBAUER\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Classics at Campion College at the University of Regina, Canada.
