The History Of Phoenicia

The History of Phoenicia is a comprehensive account of the ancient civilization of Phoenicia, written by George Rawlinson. The book explores the origins and development of the Phoenician people, their culture, religion, and society, as well as their significant contributions to the ancient world. Rawlinson delves into the Phoenician's maritime prowess, their trade networks, and their role in the spread of civilization throughout the Mediterranean. The book also covers the Phoenician's interactions with other ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Greeks. Rawlinson's work is based on extensive research and draws on a wide range of primary sources, including ancient texts, archaeological findings, and inscriptions. The History of Phoenicia is an essential resource for anyone interested in the ancient world and the history of the Middle East.Phoenicia, like Greece, was a country where the cities held a position of extreme importance. The nation was not a centralised one, with a single recognised capital, like Jud�����a, or Samaria, or Syria, or Assyria, or Babylonia. It was, like Greece, a congeries of homogeneous tribes, who had never been amalgamated into a single political entity, and who clung fondly to the idea of separate independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
