| | Talbert, R.J.A., ed.: Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World. |
 | | Chronologically, the Barrington Atlas spans archaic Greece to the Late Roman Empire, and no more than two standard scales (1:500,000 and 1:1,000,000) are used to represent most regions. |
 | | It is also for students, travelers and lovers of fine cartography, as well as for anyone eager to retrace Alexander's eastward marches, to cross the Alps with Hannibal, to traverse the Eastern Mediterranean with St. Paul, or to ponder the roads, aqueducts and defense works of the Roman Empire. |
 | | For the new millennium the Barrington Atlas brings the ancient past back to life in an unforgettably vivid and inspiring way. |
