About this title

About the Author:

Stephen Mitchell is an internationally-recognised authority on the archaeology of Asia Minor. He is the author of Anatolia. Land, Men and Gods in Asia Minor (OUP, 2 vols., 1995).

Review:

Mitchell is also good at reading the changes in the landscape over time: in particular, those wrought by the less secure years of what is often termed 'the third-century crisis', and by the approach of Christianity... his style is for the most part extremely readable. -- The International History Review 1997

Particularly valuable are the authors' careful discussion of the evidence (whether textual, artistic, epigraphic or numismatic) and their scrupulous honesty regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their conclusions ... An innovative work of urban and military history and an insight into how scholars reconstructed the past. -- Choice 1996
