An innovative and intriguing look at the foundations of Western civilization from two leading historians; the first volume in the Penguin History of Europe

The influence of ancient Greece and Rome can be seen in every aspect of our lives. From calendars to democracy to the very languages we speak, Western civilization owes a debt to these classical societies. Yet the Greeks and Romans did not emerge fully formed; their culture grew from an active engagement with a deeper past, drawing on ancient myths and figures to shape vibrant civilizations.

In The Birth of Classical Europe, the latest entry in the much-acclaimed Penguin History of Europe, historians Simon Price and Peter Thonemann present a fresh perspective on classical culture in a book full of revelations about civilizations we thought we knew. In this impeccably researched and immensely readable history we see the ancient world unfold before us, with its grand cast of characters stretching from the great Greeks of myth to the world-shaping Caesars. A landmark achievement, The Birth of Classical Europe provides insight into an epoch that is both incredibly foreign and surprisingly familiar.

Is this the one for you? It was for me!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Okay so if you are like me and shop last minute before a major event then this is perfect. I went through pages and pages on here to find a bag that let's be honest here will only be used once and put away. So I decided on this one because of the style and color as it will go perfectly with my emerald green dress that I am wearing to my bestie's son's wedding literally next month. The size is perfect and the quality is on point. Yes the bag is a little stiff when opening for the first time but if you plan to use this constantly then it should be more pliable over time. This will hold what I intend to take with me which is just the basics so the functionality will be great and the fact that it travels well is another point for this evening bag. Big value for the money and easy to use. If you like it buy it, if not find one that suits your needs and style and budget. This is a keeper.

Beware of the smell
Color: Black
Starting with the likes about this product: 1. Beautiful design 2. Large enough for my cell phone 3. Most important it matched my HEEZ Women's Ballet Flats Shoes Now for the dislikes: 1. The chemical smell coming from the bag was soooo strong my eyes watered and my nose burned just a little. There is no way I could carry this purse with out that smell wafting through the air. IT WAS THAT STRONG. 2. The flap was a little stiff to bend, so closing was a little hard to get it in position. I'm sure if you opened and closed it a few time it would loosen up. Bottom line I only gave it a 3 star because of the smell and I am retuning it. Not sure if you air out the bag for a few days if the smell would go away but I didn't want to risk it.

Love it
I really like this handbag. The pebbled leather texture looks elegant and feels good quality. It is small but still fits my daily essentials like phone, wallet, and keys. The top handle gives a classy look, and the adjustable strap makes it easy to wear as a shoulder bag. The magnetic closure is convenient and easy to open and close. It looks stylish for both casual and dressy outfits. I am very happy with this bag.
