Most of what is known of the ancient world comes from the accounts of antiquity's own historians.
Ancient history is the aggregate of past events from the beginning of writing and recorded human history and extending as far as post-classical history.
Historians have two major ways of understanding the ancient world: archaeology and the study of source texts. Primary sources are those sources closest to the origin of the information or idea under study.
Some of the more notable ancient writers include Herodotus, Thucydides, Arrian, Plutarch, Polybius, Livy, Josephus, Suetonius, and Tacitus.
