Description
Book SynopsisA survey of the Greek settlements founded or refounded in the Hellenistic period.

It brings together debates from dozens of scattered archaeological and epigraphic projects.
Trade Review"The Hellenistic Settlements in Syria, the Red Sea Basin, and North Africa will take its place, as the first volume already has, as an indispensable tool for the study of Greek history. The book will be a research tool of lasting value: there is nothing remotely similar available to the student of urbanism in the ancient world. The scholarship is of the highest quality, thorough and current." - Kent Rigsby, editor of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies"
