Description

Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. In English. 396 p. Anatolia in the Antique age was divided into many different regions such as Troas, Ionia, Aiolis, Mysia, Lydia, Phrygia, Caria, Lykia, Pamphylia, Pisidia, Cilicia, Commagene, Galatia, Bithynia and Pontus which had about a total of 1500 antique city settlements. Some of these city settlements were left under the soil as a result of the modern construction industry while many more still wait for being searched and excavated. Today, 133 of these cities were excavated and arranged. This work aims at introducing the relatively significant ones of the cities mentioned above that were excavated. We tried to use support the narrative with the city plans and up-to-date photographs. Although it was quite difficult to choose the photographs out of a rich collection of thousands of pictures that reflected the geographical riches of the land, we enjoyed the challenge and did our best in utmost meticulousness in picking the ones that we thought were fitting.
