Amathonte viii
Les fortifications, les constructions associées et avoisinantes
Résumé
This book concludes 29 research campaigns on the city walls that protected the acropolis, the lower city and the harbor of Amathus, from ca. 650 BC to the end of the Classical period. Antigonus I began rebuilding this wall, which had been damaged by time and sieges, but Ptolemy I abandoned the project soon after. It was the threat of Arab raids (7th century AD) that led to the fortification of the acropolis by a transverse wall with six towers. The investigation led to the excavation of the buildings linked to the monument: a large silo dump, retaining walls, streets, ovens, and a double Archaic sanctuary linked to the North Gate and replaced, after 261 BC, by the city's second temple to Aphrodite. This volume also presents studies on the Hellenistic aqueduct, three houses dating from the imperial period, a cistern linked to the cult of Adonis, and tombs. In addition to the architecture and its historical context, the authors are keen to present the stratigraphy and the excavated material, regardless of its dating: inscriptions, foundation deposits, offerings from sanctuaries (figurines, ceramics, marble head of Aphrodite, bronze jug dedicated to Adonis), a dwelling cornice with narrative scenes, furniture, weapons. The collaborators have devoted studies to the silo, to the archaic pillar cult, to the offerings from the cult of Adonis, and to ceramic and numismatic finds. As a whole, this volume illustrates 12 centuries in the life of an ancient regional capital of Cyprus.
