Description
Book SynopsisDrawing on the latest archaeology, epigraphy and historical interpretation, this major volume presents a survey of ancient Macedon, important parts of which are published by their excavators for the first time, including the palace of King Philip II. Archaeologists and historians of the ancient Greek worlds will welcome this milestone in the study of this rapidly changing filed, packed with new information, interpretations and essential bibliography.
Trade Review"This is a superb and hard-hitting volume that brings together the very best archaeologists and historians of ancient Macedonia - packed with exciting new material, handsomely illustrated, as well as strong arguments and important new perspectives." – R.R.R. Smith, Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art, Oxford University "..the book is very much up-to-date, [...] it lays out the current state of knowledge and understanding about ancient Macedon. Both the archaeological chapters and the historical ones aim to offer a reliable basis of knowledge on which, presumably, other scholars can build their own theories. It will be especially valuable in raising the profile of Macedon in studies of the Aegean world in the Classical period. [...] production values are high. What this volume does, it does very well." – Hugh Bowden, King's College London, in: Scripta Classica Israelica 31 (2012)
