Beschreibung
Under Seleucid rule, time no longer restarted with each new monarch. Instead, progressively numbered years, identical to the system we use today, became the measure of historical duration. Paul Kosmin shows how this invention of a new kind of time¿and resistance to it¿transformed the way we organize our thoughts about the past, present, and future.
