"Knossos is one of the most important sites in the ancient Mediterranean. It remained amongst the largest settlements on the island of Crete from the Neolithic until the late Roman times, but aside from its size it held a place of particular significance in the mythological imagination of Greece and Rome as the seat of King Minos, the location of the Labyrinth and the home of the Minotaur"--

This Element volume provides an up-to-date synthesis of the archaeology of the Roman conquest, combining new theoretical and methodological approaches with the latest fieldwork results. Recent advances in conflict archaeology research are revolutionising our knowledge of Rome's military campaigns in Western and Central Europe, allowing scholars to reassess the impact of the conquest on the indigenous populations. The volume explores different types of material evidence for the Roman wars of conquest, including temporary camps, battlefields, coinage production, and regional settlement patterns. These and other topics are examined using four case studies: Caesar's Gallic Wars, the Cantabrian and Asturian Wars, the Germanic Wars of Augustus, and the Roman conquest of Britain. By focusing on the 'dark sides' of the Roman expansion and reclaiming the memory of the conquered, the Element aims to contribute to a more holistic understanding of the processes of incorporation and integration into the Roman Empire.

Temple-like small buildings played an important role in the ensemble of buildings constructed in Hellenistic times in the theatre area at Aigeira, due to their remarkable multiple presence. The three best preserved – Naiskoi D, E and F – are the main focus of this project. The book presents new detailed plans, a photogrammetric 3D-model, the analysis of the architectural and archaeological evidence, reconstruction drawings as well as the interpretations of the three small buildings that have been excavated mainly in the 1970s and 1980s by the Austrian Archaeological Institute. The architectural and typological study of the three buildings has led to new results concerning their building history, architectural design and function. The prostyloi that were built in the course of the third and second centuries BCE show differences in proportions, building techniques and interior features. The evidence regarding the interior layout indicates that additionally to the initial main function as temples, the use as dining halls was added, and could even have played the main role in later times. New conclusions for the entire theatre area can be drawn: Rather than planned and built in a single building programme, the ensemble that is now interpreted as a sanctuary was gradually developed during the Hellenistic period, probably accompanied by a shift of meaning. Using the case study of Aigeira, the role of the relatively frequent naiskos building type in Hellenistic sanctuaries could be explored in-depth in its context.
