New and well-known material – literary, epigraphical, numismatic, and archaeological – is presented and analyzed through the twin lenses of memory and identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributions cover more than 1000 years of cultural diversity during changing political systems, from the Lydian and Persian hegemony in the Archaic period through Athenian supremacy and Persian satrapal rule in the Classical period, then autocratic kingship in Hellenistic times until, finally, more than half a millennium of Roman rule. Identities are voiced through several media and visible at many levels of the ancient societies. So are the places of memory – the Lieux de Mémoire – and the studies presented here provide new insights into how human beings chose, deliberately or subconsciously, to commemorate their past and their ancestors, and how identity was displayed and expressed under shifting political rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1390g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 287 x 223 x 24 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781785708367\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100367941882,"sku":"9781785708367","price":33.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/3aa10dcf0c09733d0efb9602a75ebd32.jpg?v=1630637983","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/cityscapes-and-monuments-of-western-asia-minor-memories-and-identities","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
