Review Quotes: "Crossing the Alps offers 26 well-illustrated contributions on urbanism north and (especially) south of the Alps between 900 and 400 BC... Thus a mixture of the theoretical and methodological, well-known and lesser-known sites, regional overviews, comparisons and contrasts, addressing the multiple and non-linear pathways to urbanization."-- "Ancient West & East, Vol. 22, 2023"
