• Sommario/riassunto: This volume is the first scholarly work in English examining the history of the town and district of Limassol in Cyprus from antiquity to the 1570/1 Ottoman conquest of the island. Based on original research and adopting a multidisciplinary approach, six established scholars study Limassol's political, social, and economic history, as well as its artistic and cultural contribution in ancient, Byzantine, Frankish, and Venetian times. A second volume will explore the history of Limassol up to 1960.
