A Cultural History of Peace presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present. The set of six volumes covers over 2500 years of history, charting the evolving nature and role of peace throughout history.

This volume, A Cultural History of Peace in Antiquity, explores peace in the period from 500 BC to 800 AD. As with all the volumes in the illustrated Cultural History of Peace set, this volume presents essays on the meaning of peace, peace movements, maintaining peace, peace in relation to gender, religion and war and representations of peace.

A Cultural History of Peace in Antiquity is the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on peace in the classical era.

Sheila L. Ager is Associate Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Waterloo, Canada. She is the author of Interstate Arbitrations in the Greek World, 337-90 B.C (1996) and the co-editor, along with Reimer Faber, of Belonging and Isolation in the Hellenistic World (2012).
