Language: German Table of ContentsReviews.. .in its thorough presentation of the architectural remains of the public spaces of Soluntum, this volume makes an important contribution not only to the understanding of Hellenistic and Roman Republican urbanism in Sicily, but also to the study of the emergence and spread of architectural forms within the broader Hellenistic Mediterranean... This volume should therefore be an essential reference for any scholar with an interest in the urban architecture of Hellenistic Sicily, as well as for scholars of Hellenistic public architecture in general. -- Laura Pfuntner, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Author Information""Contributor Biography - English Dr.-Ing. habil.
