Ancient Dynasties is a unique study of the ruling families of the ancient world known to the Greeks and Romans. The book is in two parts. The first offers analysis and discussion of various features of the ruling dynasties (including the leading families of republican Rome). It examines patterns, similarities and contrasts, categorizes types of dynasty and explores common themes such as how they were founded and maintained, the role of women, and the various reasons for their decline.The second part is a catalog of all the dynasties (over 150 of them) known to have existed between approximately 1000 BC and AD 750 from the Atlantic Ocean to Baktria (roughly modern Afghanistan). It gives genealogical tables and tells where and when they held power.Thoroughly researched and with genealogical tables to support the lucid text, the whole forms a valuable study and invaluable reference to the families that wielded power in the Classical world.

You might consider it a reference work, or at least the second part, but I read it cover to cover and found it surprisingly readable. To be recommended for anyone with a more than superficial interest in the classical world.
