Forests in the Greco‐Roman world played significant roles at all periods: for the economy as a source of building timber and fuel, as habitat for wild game and edible plants, as places of worship where both major and minor sanctuaries were located, and as natural barriers between different populations or as dangerous traps where armies were vulnerable to ambush.
