Title: Ancient Circuit Walls of Athens
Description: "Fortification walls have always been a significant component of cities and a typical landmark in the landscape of many European cities. In Athens, however, most remains of the ancient city-wall were revealed during rescue excavations, and remain hidden within the modern urban fabric and unknown to the non-specialist. The purpose of this monograph is to highlight and enhance an important, yet mostly non-visible, fragmented and forgotten monument"--
