Books in the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis Monographs series

This is the ninth Monograph and twelfth volume that presents the results achieved at Sardis since 1958.

This work consists of three illustrated sections presenting the ceramic finds excavated at Sardis, but produced in the mainland Greek centers of Corinth, Athens, and Sparta. The authors' study of this material from the Harvard-Cornell excavations offers new evidence of the taste for Greek wares and shapes in Anatolia before the time of Alexander.

Jane DeRose Evans focuses on the over 8,000 coins minted in the Lydian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods that were excavated between 1973 and 2013 in the Harvard-Cornell Expedition. The book places coins within eastern Mediterranean historical, cultural and economic contexts in order to better understand the monetized economy of Sardis.

The capital of Lydia was of outstanding importance as the residence of the kings and satraps. Georg Petzl presents a comprehensive corpus of epigraphic finds since 1958. Each inscription is accompanied by a description of the monument, bibliography, translation, and commentary; indices, concordances, photographs, and maps complement the collection.

In this second volume of the Monographs, the author presents the ancient literary sources on Sardis.

No detailed description available for "Byzantine and Turkish Sardis".

This work presents a comprehensive catalogue of the Hellenistic pottery found at Sardis by two archaeological expeditions. The main catalogue includes over 750 items from the current excavations; in addition, material from some 50 Hellenistic tombs excavated in the early twentieth century is published in its entirety for the first time.
