| Description |
The
Barrington Atlas, created by the Classical Atlas Project (now, the
Ancient World Mapping Center), is a reference work of permanent value.
It has an exceptionally broad appeal to everyone worldwide with an
interest in ancient Greeks and Romans, the lands they penetrated, and
the peoples and cultures they encountered in Europe, North Africa and
Western Asia. Scholars and libraries should all find it essential,
although it is not just for them. It is also for students, travelers
and lovers of fine cartography.

| Review |
There
has never been an atlas of the ancient world to compare with this
incredible piece of scholarship and mapmaking. At a cost of about five
million dollars and over a decade in development, it contains highly
detailed professional maps equivalent to the best atlases of our modern
world. It goes beyond the Mediterranean world to include europe as far
as Britain and the east as far India. The last atlas of this time
period I purchased had a few dozen imprecise and limited small maps.
There are 99 full-color large-scale maps in this volume. I haven't been
this excited about a reference book for several years. |
