It remained under tons of rubble for two millennia. This book chronicles Soren's and his team's excavations and reconstruction of this city as well as details of the earthquake, which took place just as Christianity was becoming established and may have played a part in the end of Roman civilization."--From publisher description. ; Contents : The earthquake that ended antiquity -- Rumblings -- The Christian background -- The Church of Cyprus -- The road to Kourion -- The first campaign -- A buried temple -- The rock-cut channels -- Unearthing the earthquake -- The literary evidence -- The new archaeology -- Renewing the offensive -- The 1985 season -- The 1986 season -- The summer of 1987 -- A historical sketch of Kourion -- A Kourion baedeker ; name on front ep ; foxing on top ; else FINE/FINE.
