Nancy,
In the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World (edited by Richard
Talbert), Map 1 shows the entire Mediterranean. Great care was taken
over 12 years or so to ensure the shorelines in particular were as
chronologically accurate as possible.

It doesn't offer any contemporary shoreline information to compare it
with, but perhaps it would help.

Does anyone know of a resource that shows in comparison to today's
shoreline what the Mediterranean shoreline (particularly for today's
Turkey) is thought to have been 2,000 years ago?
