Description
- The present work aims at reconstructing the archaeological contexts and analyzing the material culture of the site of Europos. This archaeological site is located in southern Turkey, at the border with Syria, along the right shore of the Euphrates River. The Classical city rose above the remains of the Hittite Karkemish. The present work collects the results of the archaeological expeditions launched by the British Museum in the late 19th and early 20th century, never published, and the ones of the new Turco-Italian Joint Expedition, started in 2011. Europos had an uninterrupted life from the 3rd century BC to the 10th century AD, throughout the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods, all examined in the present work.
