Review: "With this publication 23 scholars from Ukraine, France, Great Britain, Russia, and Denmark celebrate the 70th birthday of Alexander Nikolaevic Sceglov. The contributions shed new light on a vast range of Black Sea issues: from the earliest settlements and their functions to the formation of a Russian science of Classical antiquities. In focus are the important Greek cities Histria, Olbia, Chersonesos, and Herakleia Pontike, the cities' material culture and their relationship to their own rural territory and to their non-Greek neighbours."--Jacket.
