Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book by the late Professor Pillans is a valuable tool for expanding your knowledge of Ancient Geography.

The book is written from the perspective of someone standing on the landscape looking towards the sea and then moving inland along the river basins. The author's focus is on enabling the reader to picture where events in classical literature took place, not only by using standard names but also by giving an ancient name alongside a modern one.
