| Abstract: | It is not unreasonable to assume that Gozo, too, was seen as a similar haven. However, on the basis that present day Gozo is devoid of any good natural harbours, some have, not unreasonably, dismissed the possibility that the island could have had any significant maritime role in antiquity.6 Through this paper I intend to show that the island did indeed have its fair share of maritime activity, an activity that would have needed more than small open bays to be sustained. |
