Phoenicia, Carthage, and Popular Government in the Pre-Classical Mediterranean
The Other Democracy
Description
Despite popular perception, the Greeks didn't invent democracy. The idea of the assembly in the town square can be traced back to Mesopotamia, but how did democracy reach the Greeks? This book uses archaeology, inscriptions, and historical texts to show that it was the Phoenicians who introduced the idea of the democratic state to the Aegean.
