Ancient History From The Monuments - Persia

Ancient History From The Monuments – Persia (1930s) by W.S.W. Vaux (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge)
Sold by Crappy Old Books

Unearth the grandeur and mystery of ancient Persia with this fascinating 1930s volume from the “Ancient History From The Monuments” series. Written by W.S.W. Vaux and published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, this compact yet compelling book explores the empires of Cyrus, Darius, and Xerxes through the lens of archaeological discovery and early historical interpretation.

Expect faded maps, old-school scholarship, and just a whiff of imperial bias — all wrapped in that charmingly musty, timeworn style Crappy Old Books is proud to offer. Ideal for armchair historians, vintage book lovers, and anyone who prefers their history with a bit of foxing and a lot of character.

Because nothing says "deep dive into antiquity" like a brittle spine and some archaic theology on the side.

I have glued back most of the tatty bits on the spine in a bid to preserve it a little more. Binding and book block etc is otherwise in good condition.
