内容説明
The enigmatic three-mile-long Dema Wall near Athens has perplexed archaeologists and historians for decades. When was it built and what role did it play in Greek military history? This study attempts to establish the importance of the Dema Wall in the defence of Athens and offers a new perspective on the Boiotian War. Since no ancient reference to the Wall survives, scholars have contested the date and purpose of the Wall's construction, placing it anywhere between the Geometric Age and Hellenistic eras. While directing the excavation of a watchtower above the Wall, Munn's chance discovery of a datable sherd in the Wall's remains fixed the date of its construction at 378 BC, the onset of the three-year Boiotian War. Munn offers an absorbing narrative account of the war, and his descriptions and use of literary extracts render a portrayal of the opposing generals, military tactics and battle scenes.
