Phoenicians and the Making of the Mediterranean

byCarolina López-Ruiz

The first comprehensive history of the cultural impact of the Phoenicians, who knit together the ancient Mediterranean world long before the rise of the Greeks. Phoenicians and the Making of the Mediterranean combines scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of history and social science, Phoenicians and the Making of the Mediterranean explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. Phoenicians and the Making of the Mediterranean emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
