Book Synopsis Hellenistic Fortifications from the Aegean to the Euphrates by : Anthony McNicoll
Book excerpt: The fortifications built around Greek cities are among the most impressive of ancient remains. McNicoll analyzes and illustrates fortified sites, ranging from Ephesus and Assos on the Aegean to Dura Europus on the Euphrates. These sites provide fascinating evidence of secular classical architecture, as well as insights on the political history of Hellenistic Greece.
