Demetrias: The Archaeology of a Cosmopolitan Macedonian Harbour
- Abstract:
-
This paper aims to offer an overview of the archaeological evidence pertaining to Hellenistic Demetrias, evaluating the archaeology of the city in light of the epigraphic discoveries of the last decade and recent scholarly treatises on synoecisms and Hellenistic royal courts and palaces. Crucial among the questions addressed in this paper are the following: how far has our understanding of the processes that created the synoecism improved over the last fifteen years; whether archaeology and epigraphy allow us to distinguish diagnostic features of the character of Demetrias during the period of Macedonian control; how Demetrias compares to other major Macedonian royal foundations in the first instance and more generally to other Hellenistic major harbour cities; and, finally, what was the effect of the dissolution of Macedonian power in 167 BC.
