Reviews
'This volume contributes not only to our understanding of the Punic world it but also enriches the facts concerning the Western Mediterranean, without taking into account the fact that the method represents a potential model for other regions, Phoenicia, for example. Its principle advantage is an original approach from all types of sources. Because it isn't simple a compilation of prior research, existing sources and a summary of searches or surveys, the collective work brings a major and quality contribution to our best understanding of ancient rural life, Punic in particular.' English translation of review in French by Elodie Guillon, Universite de Toulouse, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2009.12.09 'If we assess the information contained in this volume, our opinions must be highly positive, as the relevant and necessary aims set by the editors have been broadly achieved. Readers will find new, interesting and well documented information within a coherent structure. It is, without doubt, an obligatory reference book for anyone who wants to approach the Punic strategy for agricultural production from an international perspective.' Teresa Chapa Brunet, Complutense University, Madrid, European Journal of Archaeology, 14.2, 2011
