Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new transcription and study of the original building inscriptions (ca. 409-403 BCE) detailing the construction costs of the Erechtheum on the Acropolis of Athens. The inscriptions, carved on marble stelae, recorded the payments made to workers and for materials used in the buildingâs construction. The author examines the physical remains of the stelae as well as squeezes and early transcriptions of the texts, offering significant improvements to the published texts of the inscriptions, which have been the subject of scholarly debate for over a century. This updated and corrected transcription forms the basis for a comprehensive study of what the accounts reveal about the buildingâs construction, the organization of the building project, connections to other building projects on the Acropolis, and the political and economic climate of Athens during the later stages of the Peloponnesian War. The study of the building accounts provides critical and unique insights into the construction of one of the most iconic buildings of antiquity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333582654_0
