Publication Identifier: WHE4A62EDD3F6

Summary

Roman architectural influence in Lycia, particularly at Xanthos-Letoon, reshaped urban landscapes and contributed to the formation of collective identities by blending Roman design with local traditions. This study reveals how the integration of Roman architecture not only altered the physical appearance of cities but also generated new urban narratives that reflected broader socio-cultural transformations. The research employs an architectural and urban perspective to analyze this process, examining the interplay between imported Roman styles and indigenous practices in Lycia during the Roman period.
