  This companion to the editor's Penguin Encyclopedia of Ancient Civilizations goes beyond the misleading definition of classical civilization, which is traditionally reserved for Greco-Roman antiquity, and examines the five great civilizations which were at their height between 550BC and 600AD: the Chinese, the Indians, the Persians, the Greeks and their Roman heirs.
