A text suggests that Aüza was probably the earliest Phoenician colony in North Africa. It has commonly been located far to the west, beyond Carthage. A more plausible location, nearer Egypt and Phoenicia, at the site known as Aziris, is here suggested.

Lord Elgin’s services to the preservation of the classical culture of ancient Greece went beyond the rescue of a signifi cant part of the sculptural decoration of the Parthenon from further depredation and neglect, and embraced scholarly study of other monuments in Athens and elsewhere in Greece: ‘but architects and draughtsmen might be employed, to rescue from oblivion, with the most accurate detail, whatever specimens of architecture and sculpture in Greece had still escaped the ravages of time, and the barbarism of conquerors’. Not that it was conquerors who had always wreaked most damage. G. considers in detail the work of Elgin’s draughtsmen, giving also a valuable conspectus of what had been done by earlier visitors, from Ciriaco d’Ancona on. Elgin’s instructions to his artists are precise, and his aims, to publish graphic material specifi cally aimed at the instruction of artists and professionals, were novel. Even the Dilettanti expeditions had no such clear programme of record and education. The artists were carefully chosen – even Turner was on the list for a while – but it proved more effective to hire artists in Italy, with Sir William Hamilton’s help: the painters Battista Lusieri and Feodor Ivanovitch, the architects Vincenzo Balestra and Sebastiano Ittar. The drawings were purchased by the British Museum and kept in fi ve portfolios (one for sculpture only). They covered Athens and a brief excursion into the Morea. Their accuracy and detail were, in the main, irreproachable, notable for the artists’ interest in sections and in the evidence for construction methods; this is perhaps the most diffi cult discipline in all archaeological recording. Sculptural drawing presents different problems, executed by Ivanovitch with a more painterly eye. The illustrations here are generous and, despite the general pallor of much modern publication, under a glass the linear detail stands out well. The transcriptions of relevant manuscripts include an important selection of letters kept at Broomhall, and there is a Catalogue and Topographical Index to the Drawings. The letters are rich in observations about Greece, as, for example, Hamilton’s that ‘the greater part of the Artists had taken an active part as Abettors of the French, consequently many have found it necessary to quit Rome’; also Philip Hunt’s precise instructions for the artists and detailed refl ections on Greece in his day. G. is a practising architect and scholar of architectural history. She understands the problems of recording architecture better than most archaeologists, and is fully aware of the cultural/historical implications of projects such as Elgin’s. This is a masterly demonstration both of the drawing skills of two hundred years ago and of scholarly exposition.

Summary. There is growing archaeological evidence that Greeks and Phoenicians cooperated, or at least were not serious rivals in early days of exploration of the western Mediterranean, before the sixth‐century trade wars, even to the point of settling side‐by‐side. The geographical, textual and material evidence for Greek presence close to, and at Carthage in early days is here reviewed.
