Description

Book Synopsis
This book introduces students to the chief disciplines, methods and sources employed in doing ancient history, as opposed to reading it.

Trade Review
"Detailed but lively, this book offers an introduction to the sources of evidence about ancient history. Hedrick has a keen sense of irony for the varying ways in which ancient and modern people read the same documents and he is an ideal guide to help us bridge the gap." Barry Strauss, Cornell University
