Reviews
'... this groundbreaking book offers a fresh and compelling portrait of daily life in Classical Greek colonies. Zuchtriegel's forward-thinking analyses prompt his readers to question longheld beliefs about Greek colonization, and his discussions of early colonial architecture (Chapter 2), residential patterns (Chapters 4 and 5), the reinterpretation of land distribution practices at Metapontum (pp. 132-134), and specialized craft production (Chapter 7) are of particular note. This book is a must-have resource for all scholars of Greek colonization, and will undoubtedly shape the discourse of the field for years to come.' Ancient History Bulletin
