FIRST EDITION. The chief purpose of this important work, awarded the Conington Prize for 1924 is a reconstruction of the earlier history of the North Aegean coastline and its hinterland. The region is a large one, extending from the Adriatic coast to the Black Sea, and from the Save and Danube to the Peneios and the Dardanelles. The period covered extends from the earliest times down to the appearance of Philip II, son of Amyntas. The work is profusely illustrated with photographs, drawings and maps and remains one of the best source works on those areas of the Hellenic Empire barely studied until modern times.
