Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book explores the theory of landscape and the possibility of conscious inclusion of landscape features in the architecture of rural sanctuaries in the Roman Near East. Concentrating on geographic regions in agriculturally developed areas of the province to narrow the broad topic area, Ann Irvine Steinsapir presents a study on the countryside within the investigation of sacred architecture built in the Roman period. Includes chapters on the Hauran; Baetocaece; the limestone Massif; and the Lebanon.
