To clarify changes, their causes and repercussions, it compares infrastructure engineering (transportation, water management, utilitarian architecture) in antiquity with developments over the past 200 years, using the accounts of European travellers and then of excavations. It analyses patterns of and reasons for the deterioration of material life, documenting the perceptions and understanding of Roman antiquities and engineering by populations living amidst ancient Roman art and architecture, roads, and aqueducts. These are complemented by travellers' accounts of the myriad aspects of the plundering of archaeological sites and antiquities. 410 0$aTechnology and change in history ;$vv. 13. 607 $aTurkey$xAntiquities, Roman$xConservation and restoration 607 $aTurkey$xAntiquities, Greek$xConservation and restoration 607 $aTurkey$xAntiquities$xConservation and restoration 676 $a363.6/909561 700 $aGreenhalgh$b Michael$0215207 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790774903321 996 $aFrom the Romans to the railways$93846478 997 $aUNINA
