About This Item
New York : McGraw Hill, 1969 Ex-Library. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st US Edition. From the historical record and discoveries unearthed in the extensive excavations over a fifteen year period, the author recreates the amazing story of Salamis, on the Levant coast of Cyprus, which served as an important link between the Greek world and the Near East. The manner in which archaeology and history are woven together to make this period live again is shown by one of the later excavations, a 'tomb' which in fact was proved to be only a cenotaph. This is almost certainly a memorial to King Nicocreon, last king of Salamis, who, with his family, committed suicide in 311 B.C. rather than submit to Ptolemy I .Account of the excavations of Necropolis at Salamis in Cyprus. . The Site of Salamis; II. Salamis at the End of the Bronze Age; III. The Age of Exuberance: The Necropolis in the 8th and 7th Centuries; IV. A King's Cenotaph; V. The City Site; VI. Salamis-Constantia. 212p.; notes; select bibliography; list of illustrations: 17 color plates, 128 monochrome plates, and 33 line drawings; index. Neat sound copy, usual libray marks,.
