"Il presente volume si inserisce nel filone degli studi di geografia antica e in particolare di quelli di geografia storica. Il suo pregio consiste nel far emergere in modo sintetico, chiaro ed efficace il ruolo dell’ambiente e quello della mobilità nello sviluppo politico-economico di un popolo e nella creazione della sua memoria storica: non si può concepire la storia senza prendere in considerazione lo spazio geografico in cui gli eventi hanno avuto luogo e dal quale sono stati in un certo modo prodotti."[This volume is part of the tradition of ancient geography studies and in particular those of historical geography. Its value consists in bringing out in a synthetic, clear and effective way the role of the environment and mobility in the political-economic development of a people and in the creation of its historical memory: history cannot be conceived without taking into consideration the geographical space in which the events took place and from which they were produced in a certain way.] - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
