The Polis as victor. War Memorials in Archaic-Classical Greece

Short text:

The volume offers the first systematic and, to some extent, interdisciplinary analysis of war memory phenomena in the archaic-classical period. The interrelationships between war commemoration, collective identities and the history of the city-states are shown on the basis of the development of monument traditions. Among other things, the study makes an important contribution to the understanding of the Greek polis communities.
