Reviews

...a timely and important contribution Tim Williams, Journal of Hellenic Studies this volume provides a stimulating discussion of a range of different urbanisation processes, and presents a remarkably coherent set of papers which should go some considerable way to re-establishing the study of urbanisation as an important topic for our understanding of the ancient Mediterranean.
