Love for Lydia : A Sardis Anniversary Volume Presented to Crawford H. Greenewalt, Jr. Hardback
Edited by Nicholas D. Cahill
Part of the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis Reports series
Hardback
Description
This generously illustrated volume, honoring Crawford H.
Greenewalt, Jr., field director of the Sardis Expedition for over thirty years, and commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Harvard–Cornell archaeological excavation, presents new studies by scholars closely involved with Professor Greenewalt’s excavations at this site in western Turkey.
The essays span the Archaic to the Late Antique periods, focusing primarily on Sardis itself but also touching on other archaeological sites in the eastern Mediterranean.
Three papers publish for the first time an Archaic painted tomb near Sardis with lavish interior furnishings.
Papers on Sardis in late antiquity focus on domestic wall paintings, spolia used in the late Roman Synagogue, and late fifth-century coin hoards.
Other Sardis papers examine the layout of the city from the Lydian to the Roman periods, the transformation of Sardis from an imperial capital to a Hellenistic polis, the reuse of pottery in the Lydian period, and the history and achievements of the conservation program at the site.
Studies of an Archaic seal from Gordion, queenly patronage of Hellenistic rotundas, and ancient and modern approaches to architectural ornament round out the volume.
