Modern Authors on Ancient Ports

The references are listed as ancient authors and as modern authors.

Karl Lehmann-Hartleben’s “Katalog” is most interesting and mentioned very often, but it may be said that positioning of his ports is not all that clear: I therefore decided to find the precise position of all his 303 ports. The 183 ports of Nicolas Carayon are easier to find as he uses modern place names. The 1055 sites of Nic Flemming are located by latitude-longitude: what else could I wish… except an atlas like the Barrington Atlas!
