The fortifications built around Greek cities are among the most impressive of ancient remains. McNicoll analyzes and illustrates fortified sites, ranging from Ephesus and Assos on the Aegean to Dura Europus on the Euphrates. These sites provide fascinating evidence of secular classical architecture, as well as insights on the political history of Hellenistic Greece.

Das Werk beruht im Wesentlichen auf den Untersuchungen der Dipylon-Ruine und ihres Areals in den 1960er Jahren. Diese brachten die seit 1872 einsetzenden Freilegungen des Tors zum Abschluss, konnten aber erst jetzt auf der Grundlage der bestehenden 0Manuskripte von Gottfried Gruben publiziert werden. Die Arbeiten stellen angesichts stark reduzierter baulicher und stratigraphischer Befunde eine Meisterleistung der Bauforschung dar, wobei Befundreste verschiedenster Kategorien berücksichtigt und in die Argumentationen mit einbezogen wurden. Durch systematische Dokumentation, Analysen, Diskussion und die gegenseitigen Abstimmungen ihrer Aussagenkraft führten sie zu überraschend weitreichenden und durchwegs plausiblen Resultaten. Die Toranlage kann in den wesentlichen Phasen ihres Bestehens als geklärt gelten. Der reiche und ausführliche Text wird durch eine gro�e Fülle von Plandarstellungen ergänzt.

In this fully illustrated study, Rune Frederiksen assembles all archaeological and written sources for city walls in the ancient Greek world, and argues that widespread fortification of settlements and towns, usually considered to date from the Classical period, in fact took place much earlier. Frederiksen discusses the types of fortified settlement and the topography of urban fortification, and also the preservation of structures from early settlements. He also presents an architectural history of Greek fortification walls before the Classical period, and makes the intriguing observation that early monumental architecture developed just as much in fortifications as it did in early temples. This underlines the importance of the secular sphere for the development of early communities across the Greek world
