"Macedonia is a region that provides its own intriguing questions due to its position
on the fringe of the classical Greek world. It is also an area which is of special
interest to students of history and archaeology of Roman period Greece since it was
the first to be incorporated in the Roman state. Macedonia shared a similar path of
development with Achaea during the imperial period. As provinces far from productive
zones and frontiers, both played a minor role in the imperial administrative structure.
Beneath this similarity, however, lie many differences: in Macedonia's proximity to
the Balkans, its early contact with Rome, its relatively low level of urbanization,
its multicultural context and its sizeable economy, which played their own role in
the formation of the urban and rural environments. With a focus on elements of the
built environment and human habitat, this book examines old and new archaeological
evidence to present a concise overview of the archaeology of the area and develop
a better perception of the region in terms of archaeology of the built environment,
architecture and architectural influences, urbanization and use of land and resources
from the 2nd century BCE to the early 4th century CE. Driven by a set of key questions
that are addressed through the archaeological evidence, the book explores key issues
in understanding the archaeology of the area, like the role of architectural tradition
and innovation, the interdependency between practical bases of architecture and socio
cultural aspects, the exploitation of local resources, and the role of external influences.
Special importance is given to the interaction of Greek, Roman and local cultures
and the ways that the formation of the built environment eventually led to the assimilation
of ideas from East and West in terms of workmanship, use of materials, design and
function"
