They were inventive in design and form, created to demonstrate the achievements of the dead in a public architecture of permanence and durability.This lavishly illustrated monograph brings together previously scattered information about Hellenistic funerary monuments and Janos Fedak's own research on the exterior architecture of these impressive structures in the Mediterranean region. The author first establishes a typology of main tomb forms and then considers some of the predecessors of the Hellenistic tombs. He explores the variations of form that resulted from differences in climate, building materials, and social and religious customs. Adherence to strong local traditional practice in building is visible in each region, but new ideas and novel funerary architecture were welcomed everywhere in the Hellenistic world. Fedak's wide-ranging approach makes the work of interest not only to specialists in Greek architecture and archaeologists but also to students of classical studies and historians of art and religion. 410 0$aPhoenix.$pSupplementary volume ;$v27. 606 $aTombs$zMediterranean Region 606 $aArchitecture, Hellenistic$zMediterranean Region 606 $aArchitecture$zMediterranean Region 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTombs 615 0$aArchitecture, Hellenistic 615 0$aArchitecture 676 $a726/.8/0938 700 $aFedak$b Janos$f1946-$0593655 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456148103321 996 $aMonumental tombs of the Hellenistic age$9997923 997 $aUNINA
