{"product_id":"athens-and-attica-andreas-g-vlachopoulos-9789602043370","title":"Athens and Attica: History and Archaeology","description":"The book presents the prehistory of Attica (Neolithic and Bronze Age) first and then focuses mainly on the topography of the city-state of Athens over the centuries from 1050 BC, the beginning of historical times, to the 3rd\/4th century AD, which is considered the end of Antiquity. The narration combines a discussion of the topographical, epigraphical and archaeological data, as well as of the great works of ancient Greek art created in Athens during this period. Apart from the city \u003ci\u003e(asty)\u003c\/i\u003e, the book presents the archaeological evidence from the demoi in Attica, the vitally important rural territory \u003ci\u003e(chora)\u003c\/i\u003e of the city-state, integral to the functioning of the political system. Particular emphasis is placed on the demos of Piraeus, main port of Athens, which played a significant role in Athenian economy and history in general. The extensive appendix presents plans, architectural drawings, and graphic restorations of monuments with explanatory texts by Panos Valavanis and Lydia Palaiokrassa-Kopitsa, and enriches the illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andreas G.
