It has a very accurated background, although it could be even longer, but it's enought to recreate the ancient world. The book itself is the only thing you need to play, include rules, background, weapons and armours, beasts, npcs and so on. The most interesant thing I've found is a complete timeline of the most important empires, which documents reasonably well a campaign of your own.
