Building a new Rome : the Imperial colony of Pisidian Antioch (25 BC - AD 700)
\"The essays in this volume bring to bear the latest scholarly and technological trends in archaeological research to shed new light on the site of Pisidian Antioch in west-central Turkey. Drawing on 3-D virtual reality technology as well as archival material from a 1924 University of Michigan expedition to the site, the authors propose new reconstructions of the city's major excavated monuments. They also evaluate these monuments in relation to the social and political imperatives of Pisidian Antioch's hybrid culture--one that overlaid a Roman imperial colony on a Hellenistic Greek city in an Anatolian region long inhabited by Phrygians and Pisidians. The study of Pisidian Antioch is thus seen in the context of recent scholarship on Rome's colonial project in the eastern empire. An accompanying DVD presents a fly-over of the virtual city created to aid in the authors' research\"--Publisher's website.

Antioch: The Lost Ancient City
\"Located in what is today southeastern Turkey, Antioch flourished from its founding in 300 B.C. until the sixth century A.D. Sitting as it did at the crossroads between Persia and the West, Antioch drew missionaries and merchants, saints and soldiers, actors and artisans...The city's vitality unfolds in a new exhibition scheduled to open at the Worcester Art Museum in October [2000]. 'Antioch: The Lost Ancient City' will travel to Cleveland and Baltimore in 2001. The exhibition highlights the Antiochene passion for spectacle in theaters, games, and festivals; the beauty of homes in the well-to-do city; and its role in the growth and melding together of diverse religions. It gathers objects that have not been together since their excavation more than sixty years ago.\" (HUMANITIES) The history and culture of the Antiochene civilization are revealed through excavations of the ancient city.
