Full Description
For millennia, walled citadels have served both as residences for rulers
and military forces and as sacred centers embodying the power of the
elite. The outcome of a symposium organized by Koç University's Research
Center for Anatolian Civilizations, the essays in this volume are by
leading scholars on the area that is now Turkey, from the first
millennium BC through the fourteenth century AD. They examine the
phenomenon of citadels in a comparative perspective in Anatolia and
neighboring regions. Archaeology, art history, and history are brought
to bear on the phenomenon of the citadel in its urban context.
