Antonaras, Anastasios Ch.: Arts, Crafts and Trades in Ancient and Byzantine Thessaloniki

Archaeological, Literary and Epigraphic Evidence. Edited by Antje Bosselmann-Ruickbie and Leo Ruickbie. [Foreword by Falko Daim]. For the first time, the arts and crafts of Thessaloniki, once the second largest city in the Byzantine Empire after Constantinople, are examined thoroughly through archaeological remains, historical sources and epigraphic records. More than 80 years of archaeological research and a life-time of personal research that covers 112 excavations, reveals at least 16 artisanal trades in detail. The book is organised chronologically with overviews of the political history and topography of Thessaloniki throughout its nineteen-centuries-long history. With an illustrated catalogue of each site and distribution maps, this work reveals relatively unknown aspects of life in Antiquity, the Early Christian period and Byzantium. 268 Seiten mit 386 meist farbigen Abb. und Karten sowie einer Faltkarte als Beilage, Großformat, gebunden (Byzanz zwischen Orient und Okzident; Band 2/[Schnell & Steiner]/Verlag des Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums 2016) ausgesondertes Bibliotheksexemplar mit entsprechenden Stempeln, Signatur auf Rücken und Inventarisierungsvermerken auf Vorsatz, textsauber/former library copy with stamp on endpaper and shelfmark on spine.
