Previous owner's signature/inside front cover, otherwise unmarked. Profusely illustrated. *** "Cicero said of ancient Syracuse in Sicily that it was the 'largest and the loveliest of all cities.' Over four thousand objects from excavations, displayed at the Museo Archeologico Regionale Paolo Orsi, bear ample testimony to the city's status as perhaps the most powerful and cultured city in the Greek world. Still, many more exquisite objects remain in storerooms. This collection brings to light some of these stored ancient treasures, which together comprise an artistic portrait of Greek Syracuse. The catalog includes eight scholarly essays that place the artifacts against the background of the social, political, economic, and religious framework of the polis." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword: recent archaeological research in Syracuse, by Giuseppe Voza; Introduction: "Syracuse, richest and fairest of all cities", by Bonna D.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In this book, a distinguished team of authors explores the way space, place, architecture, and ritual interact to construct sacred experience in the historical cultures of the eastern Mediterranean. Essays address fundamental issues and features that enable buildings to perform as spiritually transformative spaces in ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, early Christian, and Byzantine civilizations. Collectively they demonstrate the multiple ways in which works of architecture and their settings were active agents in the ritual process. Architecture did not merely host events; rather, it magnified and elevated them, interacting with rituals facilitating the construction of ceremony. This book examines comparatively the ways in which ideas and situations generated by the interaction of place, built environment, ritual action, and memory contributed to the cultural formulation of the sacred experience in different religious faiths.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. During the Hellenistic period, the North Aegean Sea was a dynamic and diverse area, linked by robust trading networks and sometimes precarious political allegiances. The islands of Thasos, Samothrace, and Lesbos in particular played crucial roles in their position between Anatolia, Macedonia, Thrace, and Greece. Migration, trade, and politicsnot to mention the specifics of sites and climateshaped the development of architecture, which pioneered many innovations that subsequently spread across the Mediterranean. Employing the idea of networks to effectively describe the interconnectedness of design, materials, technology, religion, and politics, the contributors to this volume establish the need to understand this important region holistically and on its own terms. Taking a close look at major buildings and monumentswhile considering technique, design, and decoration as elements of a vigorous webthis volume offers important insights about the areas significance in the history of Hellenistic architecture, including lasting innovations in architectural illusion, Ionic entablature, and groundbreaking uses of marble and plaster. From the North Aegean, such principles and tactics were transmitted to the rest of the Hellenistic world, influencing Roman architecture and, from there, Western architectural history.
