| Sumario: | This comprehensive and well-illustrated volume describes the excavations of the so-called Triconch Palace, which occupied a large sector of the Adriatic port of Butrint. In doing so it contributes to our changing understanding of the development of Roman towns in the Mediterranean and reveals the rhythms of Butrint and its Mediterranean connections. The book traces the transformations that occurred in a large channel-side area of Butrint over 1,500 years from the 2nd century AD onwards, from the development an elite domus of palatial scale through to the final abandonment of the area in the Venetian period. This is accompanied by an examination of the elaborate mosaic decoration of the domus and its use in the articulation of the building, together with in-depth discussion of the Triconch Palace in the wider context of domestic architecture in the late antique and early medieval periods. --Book Jacket. |
