First edition

The Phoenicians is a richly illustrated exploration of one of the ancient world’s most influential maritime civilizations, tracing the rise of the Phoenicians from their city-states along the Levantine coast to their vast trading networks that connected the Mediterranean world. Written by noted archaeologist and historian Glenn E. Markoe, the volume examines Phoenician commerce, religion, art, seafaring technology, and the creation of the alphabet that profoundly shaped later Western writing systems. The 2005 The Folio Society edition is especially prized for its elegant production quality, featuring a sturdy slipcase, fine binding, and abundant color plates, maps, and archaeological photographs that bring the culture of Tyre, Sidon, Carthage, and their far-reaching colonies vividly to life. These books are basically NEW. The pages still crackle as I opened the books to take pictures. Message me about a 3-book bundle: The Minoans / The Phoenicians / The Mycenaeans!
