Oxbow says: In the early 8th century BC a Greek colony was
established by the Parians on the island of Hvar in the Adriatic
Sea, off the coast of modern Croatia. This volume presents a
synthesis of what is known of this Greek colony gleaned from
archaeological, written, epigraphic and numismatic sources. Branko
Kirigin provides a review of the remains of Pharos and of research
carried out on the city, before turning to what can be determined
of its social organisation and administration, its economy,
coinage, pottery, its cults and burial rituals, and the life of its
most famous hero Demetrius of Pharos and his battle with the Roman
consul Aemilius Paulus in 219BC which led to the destruction of the
city.
