The contributions of this book offer investigations of neighbourhoods, city gates, streets, temples and palaces drawing on textual and archaeological sources as well as art. The topics treated in this work encompass the diverse functions of public and marginal spaces in Mesopotamian cities and Rome, the role of agency in the development of Babylonian neighbourhoods, the relationship between public and private in Assyrian palaces, the connection between political strategies and temple building in Sumerian literary texts, and the communicative uses of language in Classical Greek texts to talk about urban space. 410 0$aCulture and History of the Ancient Near East$v68. 606 $aCities and towns$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aCities and towns$zRome$xHistory 606 $aCivilization, Classical 606 $aUrbanization$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aUrbanization$zRome$xHistory 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization, Classical. 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory. 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory. 676 $a307.760956 700 $aMay$b Natalie N$01642841 701 $aSteinert$b Ulrike$01642842 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809876303321 996 $aThe Fabric of cities$93987743 997 $aUNINA
