The second, "Greece & Rome", deals w/ the Hellenization of the Middle East by the monarchies established in the area conquered by Alexander the Great, the growth of Rome, & the impact of the two cultures on one another. The third, "Rome", covers the foundation of the Roman Empire by Augustus & its consolidation in the 1st two centuries AD, while an envoi discusses some aspects of the later Empire & its influence on western civilization, not least through the adoption of Christianity.
