About This Item
Conference Proceedings. Papers in Greek, English or French; two volumes. Soft cover, 24 cm, 534+259 pp., ill. Net weight 2160 gr.
VOL. I: Ancient Times [Greek and Roman Periods].
VOL. II: Middle Ages - Modern Times.
The first volume contains 27 papers from a total of 30 contributors devoted to the Greek and Roman periods. Not surprisingly, the location of the Conference has skewed the geographic area covered by the papers. Of the 21 with a focus on a specific island, a third are devoted to island of Lesbos. Three deal with Chios, Cos and Samos benefit from two (though in the latter case both are devoted to the same hoard) and Thasos, Lemnos, Andros, Naxos, Tenos, Delos and Calymnos all have a paper each. The broader choice of area, the Aegean Islands has also had an obvious impact on chronological coverage, in the relative absence of the Roman period from the volume: just one paper is devoted specifically to the Roman period, compared with eight on the Hellenistic. Nonetheless, Roman material does crop up in a number of the other papers with a broader chronological focus. The second volume contains 13 papers covering principally the Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman periods, although some of the material published brings us up to the modern state of Greece. The islands of Chios and Rhodes, with 5 and 3 papers respectively, command a significant part of the volume, but there are also a number of important overviews of the coin circulation, the economy and the administration of the whole region, which provide thought-provoking counterpoints to the contributions in the first volume.
