Abstract
Extract the fifth and final volume of the Oxford History of the Ancient Near East deals with the Persian Empire and its immediate predecessor states: Saite Egypt, the Neo-Babylonian Empire, and the kingdom of Lydia, as well as the kingdoms, chiefdoms, and tribal alliances shaping the political geography of the southern Levant and northern and southern Arabia, the roots of many of which go back to times covered by the previous volumes in this series. The areas covered include Egypt, Nubia and Ethiopia, the Caucasus, Anatolia and the Aegean, the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula, Mesopotamia and Iran, and for the first time in the series, Central Asia and the Indo-Iranian borderlands in what are today Afghanistan and Pakistan. The chronological scope of the volume extends from the second half of the seventh century bc until the campaigns of Alexander III of Macedon (336–323 bc) brought an end to the Achaemenid Dynasty and the Persian Empire.
