In this eye-opening book, Paul J. Kosmin explains how the Seleucid Empire’s invention of a new kind of time―and the rebellions against this worldview―transformed the way we organize our thoughts about the past, present, and future.

Under Seleucid rule, time no longer restarted w Time and Its Adversaries in the Seleucid Empire - Paul J. Kosmin od authora Paul J. Kosmin a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus.cz
