The new world of the early first millennium BCE (ca. 12th century BCE-11th century BCE) -- The early Iron Age (ca. 10th-7th centuries BCE) -- East meets west: the rise of Persia (ca. 6th-5th centuries BCE) -- The new world of the Macedonian kingdoms (ca. 4th-2nd centuries BCE) -- The rise of the peripheries: Rome and China (ca. 3rd-2nd centuries BCE) -- A new order in Afro-Eurasia (ca. 2nd century BCE-2nd century CE) -- Crisis and recovery (3rd century CE).

"This book provides the first comprehensive history of Afro-Eurasia during the first millennium BCE and the beginning of the first millennium CE. The history of these 1300 plus years can be summed up in one word: connectivity. The growth in connectivity during this period was marked by increasing political, economic, and cultural interaction throughout the region, and the replacement of the numerous political and cultural entities by a handful of great empires at the end of the period. In the process, local cultural traditions were replaced by great traditions rooted in lingua francas and spread by formalized educational systems."--Provided by publisher.
