When I was a kid and learning about Ancient and , Greece was all aesthetics, athletics and philosophy, while Rome was engineering, administration and law. Almost the of the ancient world. Interesting how different the image of modern is from that.

I enjoyed this NBN talk on The Sea in the Middle
The Mediterranean World, 650-1650
I appreciate how the authors use the Mediterranean as a unit of analysis and to push out the boundaries of the "the West." There is a lesson here for @teachworldhistory of the even though the book addresses a later time.
