Phoenicians And West 2Ed Pb

Between the eighth and sixth centuries BC, the Phoenicians established the first trading system in the Mediterranean basin. Archaeological research over the past decades, and still ongoing, has transformed our understanding of Phoenicia and its colonies and their relationship to local communities. This updated version of Maria Eugenia Aubet's highly praised book, The Phoenicians and the West, originally published in English in 1993, incorporates the most recent research findings, and an updated bibliography, and remains the only English-language synthesis on the Phoenicians. It will be welcomed by scholars and students.
