  • Settlements of the Ptolemies: City Foundations and New Settlements in the Hellenistic World

    K. Mueller

    Paperback (Peeters Press, Dec. 31, 2006)
    Unlike the Seleukid's the Ptolemies did not at first glance create numerous eye-catching cities. However evidence can be found of settlement of Macedonian Greeks in more rural areas, and Katja Mueller makes it plain that the Ptolemies did have a settlement policy, focusing her attention on the plethora of surviving demotic papyri, and analysing Hellenistic toponyms rather than relying on the literary sources.
