In this exceptional book, which is both an erudite work of history and a very personal work by an immensely learned scholar, Kosmin has revealed an ancient shore that is real and imaginary, created by the discovery of new spaces, lands, and people. This is a refreshing and most welcome book for both historians of the Hellenistic world and anyone interested in antiquity. -- Alain Bresson, author of <i> The Making of the Ancient Greek Economy</i> A stimulating, innovative, and impressive work that will surely find an avid readership among both scholars and a wider public. -- Sitta von Reden, author of <i>Money in Classical Antiquity</i>
