Abstract
Anyone involved in archaeological research of Alexandria will welcome this latest publication with great interest. Following in the wake of Stefan Riedel’s Die Basileia von Alexandria. Topographisch-urbanistische untersuhungen Zum Ptölemaisch Königsviertel (Brepols, 2020) is this new study of the topography of Alexandria which covers both the city and its suburban districts. Appearing almost 30 years after Barbara Tkaczow’s The topography of ancient Alexandria (archaeological map) (Warsaw, 1993), Amr Abdo’s book brings an excellent opportunity to reflect on and take stock of recent achievements in the field.
