Hellenistic and Roman Butrint

by Inge Lyse Hansen

The Hellenistic city of Butrint, with its flourishing sanctuary of Asclepius, was transformed when it was made a Roman colony, first by
Caesar then Augustus. Being able to deploy its heroic ancestry linked to
Aeneas and Troy, the city articulated its special relationship with the
imperial family in fine portrait dedications and drew inspiration from
Augustus' own city of Nicopolis. Drawing on the latest archaeological research from Butrint, this richly illustrated book presents a new understanding of the making and development of the ancient Epirote city - from colonial provisions, to public benefactions, to spacious villas and townhouses - and discusses the impact of patronage bestowed on it by the emperor and elite families in Rome. 96p, c.100 col illus (The Butrint Foundation 2009)
