{"product_id":"ancient-mesopotamian-city-the","title":"Ancient Mesopotamian City, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eUrban history starts in Mesopotamia: the earliest known cities developed there as a result of long indigenous processes and, for millennia, the city determined every aspect of Mesopotamian civilization. Marc Van De Mieroop examines urban life in the historical period, investigating urban topography, the role of cities as centres of culture, their political and social structures, economy, literature, and the arts. He draws on material from the entirety of\n\u003cbr\u003eMesopotamian history, from c. 3000 to 300 BC, and from both Babylonia and Assyria, arguing that the Mesopotamian city can be regarded as a prototype that inspired the rest of the ancient world and shared\n\u003cbr\u003echaracteristics with the European cities of antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156998615278,"sku":"9780198152866","price":154.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198152866.jpg?v=1706204535","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/ancient-mesopotamian-city-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
