The Archaeology and Epigraphy of Hellenistic and Roman Megaris, Greece

by Philip J. Smith

This regional study looks at the topography and epigraphy of Megaris, the territory between Attica, Corinth and Boetia, focusing on the Post-Classical periods. Philip Smith examines in turn, the archaeological, literary and epigraphic evidence for the region, compiling a useful catalogue of sites on the Megarid, with numerous maps and plans. All inscriptions cited are included in an appendix. In conclusion Smith posits an unusually stable transition between Classical and Hellenistic, with the region possibly even witnessing economic growth. From the epigraphic evidence observations are made as to the administrative and religious structures of Megarian society.
