It records, in thrilling and moving detail, the assistance provided by the Teians in the repopulation and rebuilding of their daughter-city, Abdera in Thrace, after its sack by the Romans in 170 BC during the Third Macedonian War. The new text, published here for the first time, is startling testimony to the ancestral friendship- and support-networks that existed between Greek \u003cem\u003epoleis\u003c\/em\u003e in the Hellenistic world, and includes (among other things) the longest surviving description of an honorific statue to survive from the ancient world. In the light of the new inscription, the authors offer a full reassessment of the epigraphic and literary evidence for relations between Teos and Abdera, thereby providing a comprehensive long-term history of the two cities, from the sixth to the second century BC. The\u003cbr\u003ebook also includes major new editions of the 'Teian Dirae' (public curses at Teos and Abdera in the early fifth century BC) and the second-century decree of Abdera for the Teian ambassadors Amymon and Megathymos, as well as two further new texts from the sanctuary of Dionysos at Teos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMustafa Adak, \u003cem\u003eProfessor in the Department of Ancient Languages and Cultures, Akdeniz University, Antalya\u003c\/em\u003e, Peter Thonemann, \u003cem\u003eFellow and Tutor in Ancient History, Wadham College, University of Oxford\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMustafa Adak is Professor in the Department of Ancient Languages and Cultures at Akdeniz University, Antalya \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeter Thonemann is Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History, Wadham College, University of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.58 x 6.58 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727799423039,"sku":"9780192845429","price":235.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/538dfb6dbc26cb2711f67eb17af05e88.webp?v=1765116158","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/teos-and-abdera-two-cities-in-peace-and-war-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
