This volume, containing 16 chapters in English and French, is dedicated to Jean-Paul Morel. It is in two parts: "Greeks and Celts in Provence and Languedoc before Roman Rule" and "From Etruria to the Black Sea". The first part, on Greeks and Celts in southern France, demonstrates the vitality of archaeological research and the new discoveries and new methodological approaches it has fostered. The second part looks at Demaratus of Corinth and the Hellenisation of Etruria, recent research at Apollonia Pontica, the urbanism of Histria, the prosopography of the Greek cities and native peoples of the northern Black Sea, and various scenes depicted on pottery, their interpretation, and the interpretation of pottery itself.
