Reviews
"Maher's study is still an important collection of information on Arkadian fortifications and as such forms a decent base for further research on the topic. * Silke M""uth, Journal of Greek Archaeology * Maher's book offers not only an illustrative compilation of the fortifications of Arkadian poleis with a structured catalogue, but also a good introduction to ancient fortifications. * Matthias R. N""oth, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * The book is well illustrated with numerous topographical plans and black-and-white photographs, many of them taken by Maher himself. This is meticulous scholarship, all the more valuable because it brings information collected from the scattered recent reports of various field archaeologists and earlier explorers together between two covers. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. * Choice *"
