Reviews

'The book, published in excellent graphical terms, adds to both the work that advances knowledge about the Black Sea and the studies on cultural interactions, contacts and exchanges that characterized ancient worlds. It would have gained clarity if connectivity, whose methodological advantages are perceptible in each of the articles, had been better defined in relation to the specific material of the region. Nevertheless, it is important to welcome the publication of this volume, which updates a constantly renewed documentation, illustrating the dynamism of the Pontic studies.' Madalina Dana, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
