The Phoenicians is a fascinating exploration of this much-mythologised people: their history, artistic heritage and the scope of their maritime and colonizing activities in the Mediterranean.
Vadim S. Jigoulov describes and analyses various artefacts (epigraphic, numismatic and material remains) and considers how historians have derived information about a people with little surviving literature. This includes a critical look at classical, Near Eastern and biblical primary texts, the relationship between the Phoenician and Punic worlds, Phoenician interactions with the Greeks and others, and the repurposing of Phoenician heritage in modernity. Detailed and engrossing, The Phoenicians casts new light on this most enigmatic of civilisations.
'The Phoenicians is a clear, up-to-date, and balanced assessment of one of the less known great civilizations of the past. It has maps, photographs of objects, and recreation illustrations. Suitable for anyone keen to understand the basics, become familiar with current historical debates and comprehend Phoenicia in relation to historical rivals and partners.' AlexanderAdamsArt.com
'This clear, up-to-date introduction by Iron Age Near-Eastern scholar Jigoulov aims to intrigue nonspecialists...Highly recommended.' Choice
