Sagalassos

City of Water

Lavishly illustrated with 99 splendid plates by Ahmet Ertug, the book provides an overview of the ancient history, architecture, sculpture, and pottery of the site, as well as the history of its discovery and subsequent exploration. The texts, written by leading scholars in the field, are accessible both to the non-specialist and to the professional, while the illustrations, ranging from breath-taking panoramic overviews of the landscape to minute details of sculptural elements, reinforce Sagalassos’ claim to have been one of the leading cities of Asia Minor.

Printed in Germany and hand-bound in Switzerland, the volume is presented in a slipcase. Texts by Marc Waelkens, Semra Mägele and Jeroen Poblome; photographs by Ahmet Ertuğ.
