Summary

A Brief History of the Cities of Classical Antiquity looks at the changes and transformations that Alexandria, Athens, Rome, Pergamum, Antakya, Petra, and Seleucia underwent in the period from the beginning of the first millennium B.C. to their conversion into truly world metropolises. The author uses the history of urbanism to evaluate the contributions and footprints of each civilization in the form of architectural monuments such as the Parthenon, the Olympeion, the Daphne Forrest, the immense Taq-i Kisra, the White Palace of Sassanid King Khosrau I, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. He also examines the political development of each city, their urban conflicts, and their key historical figures. Lastly, the book discusses the events that led to each center's downfall in the Middle Ages period.
