COULSON, W.D. & PALAGIA, O. & SHEAR, T.L. JR. & SHAPIRO, H.A. FROST, F.J, The Archaeology of Athens and Attica under the Democracy. Oxbow Monograph 37, Oxbow Books, Oxford, 1994
This 250 page book depicts archaeological finds from the most important city in the ancient world. The papers in this volume are based upon an International Conference celebrating 2500 years since the birth of democracy in Greece, held at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, December 4-6, 1992.
This book illustrates the interplay between archeology and history. A fresh look is offered by the author regarding the art and architecture of Athens, as well as at the Athenian way of life in both city and country. The opportunity is also provided to publish the results of recent Greek and American excavations both in the heart of Athens and in the rural demes. |
