In Ancient history, what was their military strength, allies, culture achievements and education like?Thank you SO much!

On Warfare in
Antiquity:

History of the Art of War, Volume I
Warfare in Antiquity by Hans
Delbruck.

Ancient and Medieval Warfare
by Oliver Lyman Spaulding and Hoffman Nickerson.

Delbruck
is well regarded and will give you more information than most students ever get. Both
the above are old, so you should also examine a recent work: The Western Way
of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece by Victor Davis
Hanson.

On
Education:

Davidson, Thomas. 1894. The Education
of the Greek People and Its Influence on Civilization. I like this book. It
is about the evolution of civilization since ancient Greece. The philosophy of Socrates
and the philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth, when combined, gave a plan for living that
works. In only 229 pages, this book can be only the broadest-brush outline treatment of
such a broad subject, but it is very good.
