excellent work...It is hard to do justice to the wide scope of this work and the immense learning which it displays and organizes into a coherent picture...throughout the work, M. pays careful attention to the physical environment, as evidentin the clear maps and well-chosen illustrations. Reflection...is stimulated in innumerable ways by the wealth of information in this work. It embodies all the latest research, shows the influence of all the masters of the field,
most notably Louis Robert, and allows a vast mass of virtually inaccessible information to be used and understood. All students of antiquity will learn much from these volumes, which will long stand as a monumental regional study.
