This study explains the Greco-Roman urban form as it relates towards the geological basis at selected websites within the Mediterranean basin. Every with the sites–Argos, Delphi, Ephesus, and Syracuse amongst them–has manifested in its physical form the geology on which it stood and from which it was produced.
By demonstrating the dependence of a group of cities on its geological base, the author writes, the study forces us to examine extra closely the ecology of human settlement, not as a set of theories but as a set of practical constraints… Exacting attention are going to be given to local geology (varieties of creating stones, natural springs, impact of earthquakes, silting, and so on.) The findings are according to website publications, visits towards the websites, along with by far the most current archaeological plans. The book is illustrated with original photographs and geological maps indicating the recognized Greco-Roman features–the initially such maps published for any with the websites. Sequel to Water Management in Ancient Greek Cities, now offered by Publication on Demand
