The Cambridge Ancient History is a multi volume scholarly reference series, first published in the early twentieth century and substantially revised in later editions, covering the history of the ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome from the earliest civilizations through late antiquity. Each volume is written by specialist historians and archaeologists and synthesizes the scholarly consensus, and areas of genuine dispute, on the periods and civilizations it covers, making it one of the standard academic references for ancient history.
