Summary note

"The University of British Columbia carried out excavations and restoration under the direction of Professor James Russell from 1971 to 1993 at the coastal site of Anemurium in Rough Cilicia. Professor Elisabeth Rosenbaum-Alföldi (Turkish Historical Society and then the University of Toronto) directed previous work at the site from 1965 -1970. Excavations uncovered pottery and a small quantity of Hellenistic coins but most of the discoveries date from ca. 200 - 700 CE. There was some resettlement in the 12th - 13th centuries CE during the Kingdom of Little Armenia ; this was followed by a period of Selcuk rule in the early 13th century. As the second in the current series, this volume presents additional reports on Anemurium : its historical context, urban planning, the city's fortifications, a summary of the city's five bathing establishments, an architectural and structural study of the largest of the bath buildings, a report on the never-completed basilical structure, the coins, the glass, the human remains, the excavation of a small extra-urban building on Cape Anamur, the preservation and transfer of selected mosaics, and an excursus on a Roman temple tomb found north of the ancient city. Also included as appendices are the descriptions originally published by the first modern-era Western observers of ancient Anemurium, Captain Francis Beaufort of the Royal Navy and the young gentleman and architect Charles Robert Cockerell. The preceding volume appeared in 2021 and presented the four churches excavated at Anemurium, a tomb and its frescoes, an inscription from a second tomb, the odeum, and the theatre. Earlier volumes presented the mosaic inscriptions (James Russell), Roman and Early Byzantine pottery (Caroline Williams) and the mosaics (Sheila Campbell)."--Page 4 of cover.
