Renzo Rossi

Like the other titles in this encyclopedic series, this hardback, first produced in Milan but later republished by Macmillan Library Reference, fits to the 64-page format, including a robust index and several-page glossary.

The topics and civilizations covered include the Achaeans of 16th century BCE Greece, the later 470 BCE Archaic Age (also in Greece), Greek Gods and Myths, and the development of Greek mythology as well as Central Europe of the Bronze and Iron Ages, Scandinavian Europe of the same era, the British Isles, the Iberians (also in the same era), the Italian and Tyrrhenian Island peoples, the Etruscans, Mediterranean voyagers and finally the Romans and Scythians.

There's also a very useful time line to help kids understand just how long ago these civilizations existed. A wonderful reference book for late grammar school and early middle school children.
