- Dura-Europos, on the Syrian Euphrates, is one of the best preserved and most extensively excavated sites of the Roman world. The Inner Lives of Ancient Houses brought the largest excavated corpus of urban housing in the Roman East to publication for the first time. Based on years of archival research in the Yale University Art Gallery archives, including reconstructing the domestic assemblages using 1930s excavation records and analysing more than 15,000 artefacts, as well as several seasons of new fieldwork re-examining the standing remains of the houses, the volume is, in the words of the Antiquity reviewer, a “monumental study”.
