Though attempts to interpret this phrase date back as far as the 19th century, the majority of them have adopted a philological approach, frequently assuming the static nature of the phrase over time. In contrast, this paper arises from written sources (particularly, it employs the Periplus of Pseudo-Skylax and the Geography by Strabo) and compare them with the available archaeological and geological data.itajournal articlehttps://edipuglia.it/catalogo/larcheologo-subacqueo-xxvi-71-72-2020/metadata only access904(38)Closed harboursPortsSeafaringNautical sourcesTechnical terminologyHistoria antiguaArqueología5504.01 Historia Antigua5505.01 Arqueología
