It also addresses to what extent this was a result of political and socio-cultural and economic context and to what extent 'structural determinants', such as the physical topography, agricultural potential and climate (including the shifts\/changes therein) influenced the observed patterns. As Asia Minor was already dotted by cities long before the Romans got a hold on this area during the second century BCE, this work compares urbanism of the first three centuries CE with the patterns of cities during the first millennium BCE (Classical and Hellenistic period particularly) and the Byzantine and Ottoman patterns, creating a long term perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains an appendix with the information for the 500 cities and 1000 villages in Asia Minor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rinse Willet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781798435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781798430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Rinse Willet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979660591359,"sku":"9781781798430","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db9ed190-c331-4bd9-8b8f-910ba2ee017e.jpg?v=1683246409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-geography-of-urbanism-in-rinse-willet-9781781798430","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
