Abstract

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

Abstract

L’industrialisation du xixe siècle a oblitéré la mémoire du Nord : le sud du département fut cependant jusqu’à la Révolution un grand centre européen de production de la pierre : des carrières de l’Ostrevant – région située entre Douai et Valenciennes – des centaines de chariot convoyaient jusqu’aux chantiers douaisiens ou valenciennois la pierre de grès dont les chargements remontaient encore sur de lourdes péniches la Scarpe ou l’Escaut pour alimenter, de Gand à Utrecht, les grandes villes flamandes ou brabançonnes. À travers l’exemple des chantiers de fortification de Douai, l’auteur évoque la politique d’une ville des anciens Pays-Bas en matière de construction. Exploitant un ensemble de sources inédites, il retrace la genèse des fortifications, situe leur place dans l’histoire de l’art et étudie l’organisation et les techniques de construction dans une ville médiévale. La richesse de la documentation rassemblée permet de souligner l’activité exemplaire du bâtiment dans ces régions des anciens Pays-Bas qui explique et annonce – avec son avance technologique – l’essor industriel du xixe siècle.
