About the book

Lost Cities of the Ancient World brings together Troy and the Trojans by Carl Blegen, Knossos by Colin F. Macdonald, Babylon by Joan Oates, Pompeii and Herculaneum by Michael Grant, and Petra and the Lost Kingdom of the Nabataeans by Jane Taylor. Each volume explores a different ancient city or urban civilisation through its history, surviving remains and archaeological investigation. Bronze Age palaces, Mesopotamian power, Roman streets and Nabataean rock-cut architecture reveal the variety of the ancient world. The collection connects the lives and beliefs of earlier societies with the discoveries that have helped recover them.
