History Buffs: Time of Alexander

[Corey]

I found a book that's a great way to get a bird's eye view of the classical world. "A Guide to the Ancient World" by Michael Grant.

I think my favorite is how the Hellenized Bactrian states got cut off from the West by a renewed Persian empire and the position it put them in.

I second the Grant book reccomendation, but it is mostly Greek and Roman stuff. Its listings are kinda light on information when it comes to other cultures, in my illiterate opinion.

Samnell- I'm with you on the Greek-Bactrians. Bactria, renamed Bastiyaan, is the center of my home-brew.
