The Far Edges of the Known World

This audiobook explores the often-overlooked regions on the fringes of ancient empires, such as those beyond Greece and Rome, revealing vibrant cultures and complex societies that thrived at the boundaries of the known world. Through archaeological discoveries and diverse settings—from the Black Sea to Vietnam—Owen Rees provides a fresh perspective on what life was truly like on the edges of civilization. With a focus on the blending of cultures and the realities faced by those living on the periphery, it offers an engaging reexamination of ancient history beyond traditional narratives.
