FROM MYCENAE TO

CONSTANTINOPLE

Richard Tomlinson introduces a representative selection of Greek and Roman

cities, looking specifically at their architectural remains. They are chosen for

their importance to our understanding of the evolution of the city-form, either

because they were already important in antiquity, or because the quality of

the remains makes them particularly interesting. Thus the survey includes

early places which failed to develop, places which were major, dominant

cities in their own time, and others which were never more than ordinary but

which through accident (for example the eruption of Vesuvius at Pompeii)

have left especially significant remains.

This is more than a book about pure ancient architecture: rather it is

architecture in its social context—showing how architecture is a part of history

rather than an aesthetic topic to be treated in isolation. Tomlinson emphasises

how the form and arrangement of different building types persist or develop

in response to differing circumstances.

Richard Tomlinson is Professor of Ancient History and Archaeology at

the University of Birmingham.
