Greek cities and sanctuaries in the Late Classical period

A remarkable insight into the architectural and urban planning achievements of ancient Greek city-states during their final flourishing period, before Macedonian conquest. The study highlights Priene's grid plan, featuring essential civic elements like an agora, temples, theater, and fortifications, alongside Olynthos' unparalleled collection of domestic structures. Additionally, it examines the sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus, a renowned healing site, and royal burials such as the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos, showcasing the opulence of rulers. The research employs a comparative approach to analyze urban design, domestic architecture, religious practices, and funerary monuments from this pivotal era.
