Hehe

Cambridge Ancient History

Volumes of fun - just trying to read it cover to cover.

Probably the one book you're looking for:
Hans-Joachim Gehrke, Helmuth Schneider (Hgg.), Geschichte der Antike. Ein Studienbuch, Stuttgart: Metzler 2000. (I have the first edition, but there's a second out now.)
The time scope encompasses all epochs one would consider 'Ancient', from Minoan Greece to Late Antiquity.
Includes political/military history (though it's more of a rough guideline here) as well as social and economic history. And it comes with a nifty bibliography.

If that's not enough, I've got loads of other recommendations. Just let me know
