"[C]et ouvrage collectif d'une grande qualité constitue une bonne synthèse de l'état de la recherche sur une région injustement délaissée. Son caractère exhaustif et scientifiquement solide ne peut que l'imposer comme point de départ de toute étude future sur la Locride orientale et intéressera au-delà tous les chercheurs concernés par la géographie historique ou les prospections de surface."
