Hi,<br>
<br>
I haven't been able to get hold of a copy but there is also Arnolds Spekke 'Ancient Amber Routes and the Discovery of the Eastern Baltic' which I think is 1948 but reissued by Ares in 1976.<br>
<br>
From memory it goes into some detail on the trade routes through Europe and around.<br>
<br>
You might also try the fragments of Pytheas in Pytheas of Massalia: On the Ocean: Text, Translation and Commentary<br>
collected by Christina Horst Roseman in 1994 (also Ares) or, as a very readable introduction Prof Barry Cunliffe's 'The Extraordinary Voyage of Pytheas the Greek' 2002.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
