The Cambridge Ancient History

The Cambridge Ancient History series is a comprehensive account of ancient history, spanning Prehistory to Late Antiquity, published by the Cambridge University Press.<br /><br />The first edition, consisting of twelve volumes, was planned by J. B. Bury, and published between 1924 and 1939. It proved to be successful and popular, both with scholars and the interested public.<br /><br />Between 1970 and 2005 a second edition of the series, of fourteen volumes and nineteen books was produced. This new edition was extensively revised and rewritten so as to take account of the vast amount of new material and research that had come about in the intervening decades. There are also two additional volumes that carry the history forward from Constantine to A.D. 600.<br /><br />This is the complete edition, of fourteen volumes in nineteen books, published in one box set.
