Title: Ancient Greek France
First published: 1998
Description: As far back as 600 B.C., long before the Romans, cities such as Marseilles, Antibes, Nice, and Monte Carlo were founded by settlers who emigrated from mainland Greece and the older Greek colonies of the Ionian coast in Asia Minor. Tracing the history of Provence and the French Riviera back to its earliest roots, A. Trevor Hodge gathers together the evidence for this far-flung outpost of ancient Greek civilization.
