In this fully illustrated study, Rune Frederiksen assembles all
archaeological and written sources for city walls in the ancient
Greek world, and argues that widespread fortification of
settlements and towns, usually considered to date from the
Classical period, in fact took place much earlier. Frederiksen
discusses the types of fortified settlement and the topography of
urban fortification, and also the preservation of structures from
early settlements. He also presents an architectural history of
Greek fortification walls before the Classical period, and makes
the intriguing observation that early monumental architecture
developed just as much in fortifications as it did in early
temples. This underlines the importance of the secular sphere for
the development of early communities across the Greek world.
