In so doing it is a reading, and  re-reading, of the site that adds significantly to the study of  Mediterranean urban history over the  longue durée . Firstly, the book proposes a new paradigm for the development-history of  Butrint - based on discussions of the latest archaeological,  historical and landscape studies from approximately 20 new  excavations and surveys, together covering a temporal arch from  prehistory to the early modern period. Secondly, it examines how  the perception of the city influenced the archaeological  methodology of 20th-century studies of the site, where iteration  and reversal were often being applied in equal measure. In this  it asks important questions on the management of heritage sites  and the contemporary role of archaeological practise. Inge Lyse Hansen is Adjunct Professor of Art History at John  Cabot University and specialises in the visual and material  culture of the Roman world. She has published on portraiture,  funerary art and the use of role models and patronage and has  edited several archaeological volumes. Richard Hodges is  Scientific Director of the Butrint Foundation, a leading medieval  archaeologist and the author of more than 20 books. Sarah Leppard has led or  participated in more than 15 excavations in eight countries and has managed  major excavations at Butrint.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49734725632273,"sku":"NGR9781842174623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1842174622.jpg?v=1751378867"},{"product_id":"roman-butrint-book-inge-lyse-hansen-9781789257335","title":"Roman Butrint","description":"Butrint, ancient Buthrotum , has taken many forms in different ages, shaped by the near-constant interaction between the place, its lagoonal landscape and the Mediterranean. Though Butrint does not appear on any of the records of early Greek colonisation to identify it as a Corcyrean settlement, strong links must have existed between it and the metropolitan Corinthian colony of Corfu. Blessed with springs that possessed healing qualities, a small polis was created - extended to incorporate a healing sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius. Julius Caesar, harbouring at Butrint in urgent need of supplies to sustain his struggle against Pompey, must have viewed the sanctuary, ringed by largely dried-out marshland, as the perfect site to settle veterans as a colony. It was an obvious cornerstone in controlling the passage from the Adriatic to the Aegean. The early settlers seem to have been limited in number and possibly mainly of civilian status. However, the political changes to the city's magistrature were immediate, and within a relatively short time-span fundamental changes to the physical make-up of the city were set in motion. Its new Roman status also located Butrint as a directly before the highest authorities in Rome, and within fifteen years or so, under Augustus's guidance following his victory at Actium, the city was refounded as a colony and awarded a pivotal role in Virgil's court-sponsored foundation epic, The Aeneid. Now linked to the Victory City of Nicopolis rather than in the shadow of Corfu, Butrint prospered. The urban fabric evolved, sometimes faltered, but was essentially sustained until the later 6th century A.D. This present volume is an assessment of the Roman archaeology, a compilation of studies and field reports that focuses upon the foundation and early history of the colony.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743333458193,"sku":"NGR9781789257335","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789257336.jpg?v=1751345019"},{"product_id":"long-eighth-century-book-inge-lyse-hansen-9789004117235","title":"The Long Eighth Century","description":"The eighth century has not been analysed as a period of economic history since the 1930s, and is ripe for a comprehensive reassessment. The twelve papers in this book range over the whole of Europe and the Mediterranean from Denmark to Palestine, covering Francia, Italy and Byzantium on the way. They examine regional economies and associated political structures, that is to say the whole network of production, exchange, and social relations in each area. They offer both authoritative overviews of current work and new and original work. As a whole, they show how the eighth century was the first century when the post-Roman world can clearly be seen to have emerged, in the regional economies of each part of Europe.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52680709800209,"sku":"NLS9789004117235","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52692773929233,"sku":"NIN9789004117235","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004117235.jpg?v=1768563202"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-inge-lyse-hansen.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
