Description

Light tanning to pages. Faint crease to ffep. DJ has very minor shelfwear. ; “This study explores a neglected aspect of history: the precautions upon which depended the existence of city-states, great and small, and even of a few rustic communities. Social as well as political stresses impelled the ancient Greeks to build innumerable fortifications of astonishing diversity; the book refers, merely for points of special interest, to hundreds of remains still visible in the homeland, many along the Turkish and the Italian coasts, and some in countries as remote as Spain and Afghanistan. ”; 552 pages
