While definitely not a definitive work on the ancient civilizations, this book is an excellent over of the ancient civilizations. This book is a joy to just leaf through casually for a taste of the ancient civilizations. Like all it’s Penguin siblings, this book is well written, well formatted, well illustrated and full of outstanding hard to find maps illustrating and expanding on the points in the essays. The essays are brief and eclectic, but informative. They point the way to more expansion of knowledge. No pretense is made of being a complete history book. I recommend these, and this one especially, to individuals with a quest for quick, overview type knowledge of ancient civilizations. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Civilizations - The New Penguin Atlas of Ancient History - The New Penguin Atlas of Medieval History: Revised Edition (Hist Atlas) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/77318291-the-penguin-historical-atlas-of-ancient-civilizations](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/77318291-the-penguin-historical-atlas-of-ancient-civilizations) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
