Das antike Zypern: Aphrodites Insel zwischen Orient und Okzident

by Patrick Schollmeyer

English summary: The Island of Aphrodite: Far more than just a holiday destination! The island of Cyprus has had many different rulers throughout its long history- and they have all left numerous traces.

The ruins of the cities, tombs, and palaces as well as countless magnificent works of art attest to the material wealth of the elite classes, and of their far-reaching contacts. Using the most current research as a basis, the author presents a comprehensive description of the cultural and historical development of Cyprus from early Antiquity until the Middle Ages. Sumptuous colour photographs show the most important archaeological finds from the different periods. They depict sculptures, jewellery, and mosaics, but also trace the remains of Roman villas or Byzantine basilicas. German text.

German description: Die Insel der Aphrodite: Mehr als nur ein Urlaubsziel! Die Insel Zypern hatte in ihrer Geschichte viele Herren und alle haben vielfältige Spuren hinterlassen. Die Ruinen der Städte, Gräber und Paläste sowie zahllose prachtvolle Kunstwerke legen Zeugnis ab vom materiellen Wohlstand der Eliten und ihren weitreichenden Kontakten. Auf der Basis neuester Forschungsergebnisse vermittelt der Autor ein umfassendes Bild der kulturhistorischen Entwicklung Zyperns von der frühen Antike bis ins Mittelalter. Prächtige Farbaufnahmen präsentieren die wichtigsten archäologischen Zeugnisse aus den verschiedenen Epochen. Sie zeigen Bildhauerkunst, Schmuck und Mosaiken, spüren den Überresten römischer Villen oder byzantinischer Basiliken nach. 112p, 71 col & 52 b/w illus. (Philipp von Zabern 2009)
