Jones describes the growth of Greek political institutions in the Near Eastern lands conquered by Alexander, tracing development of the city throughout the Hellenistic kingdom and the Roman Empire. The city's transformation from an autonomous community to a seat of local government with services provided to its citizens is described, and the relative value of these changes to the regions in which it spread is assessed.

Toning to leaves, tight, no owner's marks, very good.
