Abstract

The Mediterranean area is a living museum where the forms of past civilizations are preserved. In this first part of history, Fernand Braudel takes us, with Herodotus and Thucydides, to ancient Greece. André Leroi-Gourhan and Patrice Pomey take us into underwater archeology. Roland Martin and Jean Pouilloux evoke the first east-west conflict with the Median wars between Persians and Greeks, and the battle of Marathon. Gilbert Charles Picard recalls the rivalry between Rome and Carthage, which will see the destruction of the Punic city, while Georges Duby is in the Middle Ages with the first Crusades and the rivalry between eastern Christianity and Roman Christianity.
