The traveller and archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows (1799-1860) made several trips through Asia Minor. His careful observations of ancient cities that were at that time unknown to Europeans captured the attention of readers of his published journals and fuelled the British Museum's desire to acquire antiquities from the region. This brief work, first published in 1843, seeks to explain and justify how Fellows shipped dozens of cases of sculptures and architectural remains to Malta from Xanthos, an important city in ancient Lycia. It includes correspondence relating to the practicalities of carrying out the expedition and securing permission to do so from the Ottoman authorities. Fellows was later knighted for his role in these acquisitions, though controversy surrounds their removal. His well-illustrated accounts of his two previous trips to Asia Minor are also reissued in this series.

Cet ouvrage constitue la première étude des édifices d'époque romaine du site de Xanthos anciennement connus ou récemment découverts. Il offre une description des principaux édifices de la cité et prend en compte de nombreux blocs sans attribution, remployés dans les constructions d'époque tardive mais qui permettent l'analyse technique et stylistique. Les chapitres de synthèse décrivent l'évolution des formes architecturales et celle des décors en montrant jusqu'à quel point l'analyse stylistique constitue un outil de datation fiable. L'analyse de l'architecture xanthienne permet de discerner deux phases principales d'aménagement, correspondant globalement à l'époque flavienne et à la fin du iie s. p.C. Le cas de Xanthos est comparé à celui des autres villes de Lycie ainsi qu'aux grandes cités de l'Asie Mineure romaine. La confrontation montre la généralisation des tendances nouvelles de l'époque mais aussi la permanence de traits locaux. L'exemple de Xanthos est donc bien représentatif de l'architecture romaine en Asie Mineure
