Dura-Europos, on the Syrian Euphrates, is one of the best preserved
and most extensively excavated sites of the Roman world. A
Hellenistic foundation later held by the Parthians and then the
Romans, Dura had a Roman military garrison installed within its
city walls before it was taken by the Sasanians in the mid-third
century. The Inner Lives of Ancient Houses is the first study to
consider the houses of the site as a whole. The houses were
excavated by a team from Yale and the French Academy of
Inscriptions and Letters in the 1920s and 30s, and though a wealth
of archaeological and textual material was recovered, most of that
relating to housing was never published. Through a combination of
archival information held at the Yale University Art Gallery and
new fieldwork with the Mission Franco-Syrienne d'Europos-Doura,
this study re-evaluates the houses of the site, integrating
architecture, artefacts, and textual evidence, and examining
ancient daily life and cultural interaction, as well as considering
houses which were modified for use by the Roman military.
