Compiled and edited by Carol G. Thomas for the Association of Ancient Historians, this collection of fifteen essays by Eugene Borza on Macedonia represents a cross-section of his thought on this historically important region. The volume begins with an essay on the history and archaeology of Macedonia, providing a broad introduction to the study. Topics covered in this useful collation include: observations on the natural resources and ecology of Macedonia, including the impact of malaria on the region, political aspects of Macedonia and Greece, the origins of the royal house of Macedonia, essays on Philip II and Alexander the Great, particularly several features of Alexander’s court, communication in Alexander’s empire, Agis’ revolt, Alexander at Persepolis, and the paraphernalia of Alexander. These essential aspects of the classical world and the sea change that was about to overcome the ancient world with the rising swell of Alexander’s conquests make this book essential reading for any who wish to understand the nation that gave rise to this iconic emperor.
