Before Alexander: Constructing Early Macedonia. Publications of the Association of Ancient Historians 6.

sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - FOREWORD -- What follows is a guide to the study of the ancient Macedonians through the reign of Philip II. It is intended to serve the interests of ancient historians who are not specialists in Macedonian history ( although one hopes that even specialists might find something of value here ) , thereby fulfilling one of the goals of this monograph series. If the needs and interests of historians of other eras, of university students and their teachers, and of general educated readers are also served, the author will have been satisfied that the outreach and service goals of the Association have been met. An effort has been made to concentrate on the advances in scholarship of the past decade or so, as I attempted to provide a rather broad discussion of earlier scholarship in my book on early Macedon, published in 1990 with a revision in 1992. I hope to have avoided unnecessary repetition of what I wrote then. I have chosen to survey here only the formative period of Macedonian history, for two reasons. The first is that Ernst Badian is preparing a volume for the present series in which he will present a review of recent scholarship on Alexander the Great; any effort on my part to cover that material would be redundant. Second, a survey of Hellenistic Macedonia would be better left in the hands of someone more expert than I in the study of that era.
