UNIT II: CLASSICAL CIVILIZATIONS, 600 BCE – 600 CE
The geographic perspective of the classical world was bigger and more complex than the river valleys of the first civilizations. Classical civilizations spread out. Aspects of physical geography defined the borders of the civilizations. Contacts and sustained communications between the regions arose. Often contacts were across seas, along coasts and rivers, and the plains or steppes between regional centers.
