Love for Lydia: A Sardis Anniversary Volume Presented to Crawford H. Greenewalt, Jr. Archaeological Exploration of Sardis; Report 4 by Nicholas D. Cahill

A comprehensive archaeological exploration of Sardis reveals significant insights into the Lydian and Roman periods. The study, part of the 'Archaeological Exploration of Sardis' series, celebrates the scholarly contributions of Crawford H. Greenewalt Jr. and the 50th anniversary of George Hanfmann's founding of the Sardis Expedition. It compiles extensive data on the Romano-Iberian economy, particularly focusing on oil and wine production, through a meticulous analysis of amphora stamps and other material evidence. The research approach involves chronological arrangement of contributions, starting from the late Lydian period to the late Roman era, providing a dynamic perspective on the site's history. However, the study is noted for its static presentation of data, which, while detailed, may be less accessible to casual readers compared to more narrative-driven works.
