Sommario/riassunto

This volume examines the history and economy of the Cyclades during the late 6th to late 4th centuries BC. While certain aspects of geography in the Cyclades remained constant, the islands were able to adapt to changing conditions and hegemony in order to increase their levels of economic prosperity.
