LYDIAN ARCHITECTURE Ashlar Masonry Structures at Sardis
Oversized. ; Archaeological Exploration of Sardis Report 5; 320 pages; From the sixth to the fourth century B. C. , the western Anatolian region of Lydia was home to a distinctive local tradition of ashlar masonry construction. The earliest datable example of fine stone masonry in the environs of Sardis, the capital of the Lydian empire, is the tomb of King Alyattes, who died in ca. 560 B. C. Contemporary monuments include a city gate and monumental terraces. Alyattes' son Croesus was overthrown by the Persians in 547 B. C. , but the Lydian building tradition survived in chamber tombs at Sardis and throughout Lydia. This richly illustrated volume examines the monuments of Sardis and environs in the context of contemporary developments in Lydia and throughout the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. The study of Lydian architecture illuminates traditions of Anatolian kingship, technological exchange between Lydia and Greece and the Near East, and the origins of Persian imperial architecture.

LA VIGNA BARBERINI II: DOMUS, PALAIS IMPÉRIAL ET TEMPLES Stratigraphie Du Secteur Nord-Est Du Palatin
Bottom corners bumped. Else book is fine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; ; Roman Antica 6; 415 pages; Partant des niveaux géologiques, dont lobservation a permis de reconstruire le paysage originel de langle nord-est du Palatin, cet ouvrage parcourt les principales étapes de lhistoire du site de la Vigna Barberini depuis le VIIIe siècle avant J. -C. Jusquau IIIe siècle de notre ère. Les témoignages livrés par le sous-sol révèlent la présence de maisons dès le milieu du VIe siècle. Dautres habitations leur succèdent durant la période républicaine. Lune delles est achevée depuis peu lorsque, dans les années 30 du Ier siècle avant notre ère, un personnage important fait bâtir une domus luxueuse qui gomme tous les aménagements antérieurs. Moins de cent ans plus tard, un tremblement de terre provoque leffondrement de cette demeure et, peu après, le relief va être remodelé par la construction dune grande terrasse artificielle sur laquelle se dressera un corps du palais impérial flavien. Mais les remblais employés pour réaliser cet aménagement gigantesque subissent des tassements, imposant dintervenir à de multiples reprises tout au long du IIe siècle pour réparer et transformer ce quartier de la résidence impériale. Un incendie - celui de 191 vraisemblablement - signe sa fin et, rasé, il laisse place au temple dédié pendant quelques années à Sol Elagabalus, un sanctuaire qui pourrait avoir remplacé un édifice plus ancien. La succession des événements a été établie à partir des résultats recueillis dans lun des secteurs du chantier de fouille réalisé par lÉcole française de Rome en collaboration avec la Soprintendenza archeologica de 1985 à 1998. Lexposition des résultats est précédée par un rappel des circonstances qui ont présidé au lancement du projet de recherche, ainsi que des solutions adoptées sur le terrain puis au cours des autres phases du travail.

BURIAL AND ANCIENT SOCIETY The Rise of the Greek City-State
Minor shelfwear. Sticker remnant to back wrap. ; New Studies in Archaeology; 262 pages; This study of the changing relationships between burial rituals and social structure in Early Iron Age Greece will be required reading for all archaeologists working with burial evidence, in whatever period. This book differs from many topical studies of state formation in that unique and particular developments are given as much weight as those factors which are common to all early states. The ancient literary evidence and the relevant historical and anthropological comparisons are extensively drawn on in an attempt to explain the transition to the city-state, a development which was to have decisive effects for the subsequent development of European society.

POMPEII AD 79 The Treasure of Rediscovery
Very light shelfwear with former owner's name to ffep else book is fine. DJ has light edgewear with light chipping and a couple of small tears. ; An Official Publication of the American Museum of Natural History, New York; 305 pages; Oversized. This is the story of man's restoration of Pompeii to the world from the earliest excavations to the most recent soundings. Each step of the archaeological history brought about a clearer picture of life as it was. The discoveries also had their impact on the times -- "Pompeian fever" swept 18th and 19th century Europe. This is also the story of the men who dominated the digs -- the initial probings of Prince d'Elbeuf, the adventures -- amorous and otherwise -- of the Hamiltons, and of the dedicated Italians such as Fiorelli and Spinazzola who eventually brought systematic order to the digs. As a pictorial reinforcement to the text, the book presents a display of views and overviews, reconstructions and artistic interpretations, line drawings and etchings, engravings, vintage photography, and contemporary photographs.

THE FIRST WESTERN GREEKS
The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation, from 1952 onwards, of the first Greek establishment in the West, Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early, and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore, the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there, which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery, the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages

The second volume contains the results of detailed studies on the archaeological material, organic remains, and archeometric analyses that complete the image of this significant archaeological site. These studies help to further distinguish the main characteristics of the Mesolithic culture in the Aegean basin, including: the intense exploitation of sea resources, limited hunting activities, the collection of native fruits and land snails to supplement the diet, and attempts at domestication by isolated island communities.

THE EPIGRAPHIC LANDSCAPE OF ROMAN ITALY
Slight spine slant. Very minor shelfwear. ; Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Supplement 73; 212 pages; With contributions from Edward Bispham, Guy Bradley, Alison E. Cooley, Fay Glinister, Valerie Hope, Mark Pobjoy and Benet Salway. The Epigraphic Landscape presents a series of case-studies in which a new generation of scholars examines the significance of interpreting inscriptions in terms of their topographical context and physical appearance. Some chapters focus on a genre of inscription – honorific building and funerary – whilst others discuss a single text such as the Rapino Bronze and the album of Canusium. This approach reveals the contribution of inscribed monuments to the transformation of towns and countryside and the impact of Rome on the landscape of the rest of Italy. The integration of epigraphic literary archaeological and topographical sources suggests new ways of looking at Roman colonization in Umbria. The transformation of the epigraphic landscape of its surrounding region challenges current views on the date of Lavinium’s decline. Similar inscriptions from Puteoli provide a starting-point for exploring the activities of the super-élite of Campania. By trying to reconstruct the motivations behind inscriptions several contributors reveal the subjectivity of these texts – such as the factors governing the appearance of gladiators’ tombstones – and warn against adopting too literal an interpretation of these sources even if inscribed in stone.

THE BOOK OF ALEXANDER SARCOPHAGUS
Scholar's name to ffep (E. Badian). Very light bump to bottom edge of rear board. Else fine. Light stains to front panel of DJ. Else very minor shelfwear to DJ. ; After an introduction of the Royal Necropolis of Sidon, examines the faces and finally the lid of the Alexander Sarcophagus in detail. At the end of the book its decorative style and ornamentation is described. The Alexander Sarcophagus has been a major attraction of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum ever since it was found in the late nineteenth century. Although named after Alexander the Great, the sarcophagus was not his, but was probably that of Abdalonymos, the last king of Sidon (Saida). Abdalonymos owed his throne to Alexander and the latter's close friend and general, Hephaistion. The subject matter of the reliefs decorating the sarcophagus suggests that Abdalonymos was here commemorating his benefactors; the sarcophagus thus takes its name, not from the ruler who commissioned it, but from its iconography; 64 pages

Fondation Nationale De La Recherche Scientifique; 379 pages; Au cours du IVe siècle avant J. -C. , certains royaumes chypriotes frappent des monnaies d'or, phénomène d’autant plus remarquable qu’en dehors des dariques en or du Grand Roi achéménide, la frappe de ce métal est extrêmement rare avant l’émission de statères d’or de Philippe II de Macédoine. Quels sont les rois chypriotes qui ont frappé des monnaies en or ? Dans quels royaumes, quand et pourquoi ? D’où provient l’or ? Les émissions sont-elles régulières ? Quel est le rapport entre ces monnayages et l’histoire politique de Chypre ? Quelle est la place de ces monnaies dans la circulation monétaire de l’époque, quel est l’étalon monétaire utilisé et le taux de change entre le monnayage en or et celui en argent ? La réponse aux questions posées ci-dessous sera donnée à partir du corpus par coin des monnaies en or des rois de Chypre et à partir de leur métrologie et de leur composition métallique. Dans ce livre, où le témoignage des sources littéraires, épigraphiques et archéologiques est associé à celui des monnaies, la politique monétaire des rois chypriotes est analysée afin d'éclairer l’histoire de Chypre jusqu’à la fin des royaumes autonomes.
