{"product_id":"curtius-rufus-histories-of-alexander-the-great-book-10","title":"Curtius Rufus, Histories of Alexander the Great, Book 10","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a translation, with commentary, of a major Roman source on the end of the reign of Alexander the Great. Book 10 of Curtius' Histories  covers the reign of terror and mutiny that followed upon Alexander's return from India; and offers the fullest account of the power struggle that began in Babylon immediately after his death. The Introduction establishes a profile of Curtius Rufus (quite probably a Roman Senator of the first century AD),\n\u003cbr\u003eand his agenda as a historian. John Yardley's translation and the commentary are designed for the reader without Latin. The Commentary provides detailed analysis of the historical events of the crucial period\n\u003cbr\u003e325-3 BC covered by Curtius, and also tries to get behind the surface level of meaning to show how Curtius intended his history to be a text for his time.  Curtius' text is also examined as a literary achievement in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156582559982,"sku":"9780199557622","price":209.52,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199557622.jpg?v=1706213746","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/curtius-rufus-histories-of-alexander-the-great-book-10","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
