Cities and the Shaping of Memory in the Ancient Near East
Harmansah, Omur (University of Illinois, Chicago)
This book investigates the practice of constructing cities in the ancient Near East. City building was an important component of how Assyrian and Syro-Hittite rulers of the Early Iron Age (c.1200–850 BCE) constructed their political identity. A unique contribution in its field, it brings together architecture and cultural history with the study of antiquity in the Near East.
