In Athens, most remains of the ancient city-wall were revealed
during rescue excavations; as a result, documentation is scattered
and fragmented. This book systematically investigates all published
data, revealing the history and the nature of the surviving remains
of this significant monument. The book provides an analysis of the
ancient literary sources, the western travellers' accounts, and the
history of archaeological research on the circuit walls of ancient
Athens. It collects, records, and maps all archaeological data from
systematic and rescue excavations of the physical remains of the
wall as it evolved over eleven centuries and through more than a
dozen construction phases. It reviews issues relating to structure,
chronology and topography of the ancient city wall, as well as to
the management of its remains by the state authorities. The
enormous amount of primary evidence makes the book essential
reading for scholars of the topography of ancient Athens. This
monograph also aspires to increase community awareness of cultural
heritage in everyday urban contexts, as the wall has been preserved
in a number of ways: in basements of buildings, reburied in situ,
in the open air or beneath glass floors.
