A richly illustrated work of ancient history, The Phoenicians presents a comprehensive account of one of the ancient world's most influential yet often overlooked civilisations. Aldo Massa chronicles the rise of this remarkable Semitic people who, from their coastal cities of Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos, dominated Mediterranean trade for centuries and spread their culture — including the alphabet — to the far reaches of the known world. The book details their remarkable achievements in seafaring, commerce, art, and religion, drawing on archaeological evidence and historical sources to reconstruct a vivid portrait of Phoenician society. Written with scholarly authority yet rendered accessible through translation, it stands as an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the profound legacy of this ancient civilisation.
