The Ancient City

Superb, detailed reconstructions of buildings provide the starting-point for a vivid exploration of these two great cities and the lives of the people who inhabited them. Peter Connolly's illustrations and reconstructions have a unique authority, with their blend of superb draughtsmanship, imagination, and meticulous research. First published as a jacketed cover-to-boards hardback in 1998, this book is now being reissued without the dust-jacket at a lower price.
