The Phoenicians and the West

by Maria Eugenia Aubet

`Between the eighth and sixth centuries BC, the Phoenicians established the first trading system to encompass the entire length of the Mediterranean basin, from their homeland in what is now Lebanon, to colonies in Cyprus, Tunisia, Sicily, Sardinia and southern Spain'. This updated and expanded version of the English edition of Aubet's well-reviewed synthesis of archaeological and historical data has now become a classic work on the subject. With an expanded bibliography, a new preface and a new appendix on radiometric dating, this remains the best review of the subject. 432p 106 figs and illus, tbs (Cambridge UP 1993, Pb 1996, rep 1997, 2nd edn 2001)
