I frequent the "Reduced Price" historical section at the local Barnes & Noble, and recently picked up three of Haywood's Historical Atlases for $10 each. All are excellent and were published in 1998, so they are quite current:
- Historical Atlas of the Ancient World 4,000,000 to 500 B.C.
- Historical Atlas of the Classical World 500 B.C. to 600 A.D.
- Historical Atlas of the Medieval World 600 to 1492 A.D.
Also of 1998 vintage is Michael Roaf's Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia. The detail is wonderful, including the changing political boundaries of ancient Sumer (as supremacy ebbed and flowed from one city to another), king lists for every civilization, a map outlining the little known Empire of Mari (@1800 BC) including the 30 towns and cities under it's sway, as well as plenty of maps and pix for all the better known groups (Assyria, Babylonia, Hittites, etc.)
