Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bath-Gymnasium at Sardis is the most important known example of a complex that combines the gymnasium, a Greek institution, with the Roman bath, a unique architectural and cultural embodiment comparable in size and organization to the great Imperial thermae of Rome. The restoration by the Harvard-Cornell Expedition of the "Marble Court" or Imperial cult hall provides a rare opportunity to appreciate firsthand the scale and elegance of the major Imperial monuments. In this fully illustrated volume Fikret Yeg l describes the complex from the palaestra of the east through the richly decorated Marble Court to the vast swimming pool, lofty halls, and hot baths, including analysis of the excavation, evidence for structural systems, roofing, vaulting, and decoration, and the significance of building inscriptions. The author traces the building history from its completion in the second century through five centuries of renovation and redecoration. Mehmet Bolgil, a practicing architect who was in charge of the restoration at Sardis, contributes a clear description of the reconstruction process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great metropolis of the ancient world, "golden" Sardis was the place where legendary Croesus ruled, where coinage was invented. Since 1958 an archaeological team has been working at the site to retrieve evidence of the rich Lydian culture as well as of the prehistoric Anatolian settlement and the Hellenistic and Roman civilizations that followed the Lydian kingdom. Here is a comprehensive and fully illustrated account of what the team has learned, presented by the eminent archaeologist who led the expedition. George Hanfmann and his collaborators survey the environment of Sardis, the crops and animal life, the mineral resources, the industries for which the city was famed, and the pattern of settlement. The history of Sardis is then reconstructed, from the early Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. Archaeologists who have done the excavating contribute descriptions of shops and houses, graves, the precinct and Altar of Artemis, the Acropolis, gold-working installations and techniques, the bath and gymnasium complex, and the Synagogue. The material finds are studied in the context of other evidence, and there emerges an overall picture of the Lydian society, culture, and religion, the Greek and subsequently the Roman impact, the Jewish community, and the Christianization of Sardis. Historians of the ancient world will find this account invaluable.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the third century A.D., most cities in western Asia Minor could boast of at least one large public bath, but during the fourth through seventh centuries A.D., many public baths in this region underwent significant transformations and were re-used, in whole or in part, for other purposes. This dissertation focuses on the transformation and re-use of a select group of public baths in western Asia Minor throughout the Roman Imperial period, and especially during the fourth through seventh centuries A.D. In addition to describing how the buildings were altered or used differently over time, I evaluate potential causes for why the buildings -- or in many cases, parts of the buildings -- were available for re-use. My case studies include the Sardis Bath-Gymnasium Complex, the Vedius Bath-Gymnasium Complex at Ephesus, and the Sagalassos Bath-Gymnasium Complex. By implementing a comparative approach, I seek to demonstrate that large public baths were re-used in a variety of ways, according to local needs and circumstances, and that decisions were influenced by multiple complex factors. Among these are the social pressures brought about by the rise of Christianity, military attacks, disruptions in trade networks, people moving from cities to the countryside, and natural disasters such as severe earthquakes, fires, floods, and outbreaks of plague. The types of transformations and re-use that I consider include functional changes, privatization and subdivision, changes to the buildings' statuary programs, and the re-use of the buildings and their materials after the buildings were no longer used as baths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bathing in the Roman World, Fikret Yegul examines the social and cultural aspects of one of the key Roman institutions. Guiding the reader through the customs, rituals, and activities associated with public bathing, Yegul traces the origins and development of baths and bathing customs and analyzes the sophisticated technology and architecture of bath complexes, which were among the most imposing of all Roman building types. He also examines the reception of bathing throughout the classical world and the transformation of bathing culture across three continents in Byzantine and Christian societies. The volume concludes with an epilogue on bathing and cleanliness in post-classical Europe, revealing the changes and continuities in culture that have made public bathing a viable phenomenon even in the modern era. Richly illustrated and written in an accessible manner, this book is geared to undergraduates for use in courses on Roman architecture, archaeology, civilization, and social and cultural history.
