Excavations at Sidi Khrebish Benghazi (Berenice) Volume 4, Part 1 – Mosaics and Marble Floors

Description

Volume IV: Part 1: The Mosaics and Marble Floors (D. Michaelides) presents a handsomely illustrated catalogue of 32 mosaic floors, one opus sectile pavement and one emblema known from Berenice.

The excavations sponsored by the Society for Libyan Studies at Sidi Khrebish (Benghazi) have provided a full account of the Greek settlement and later Roman occupation of the city of Berenice. The published volumes provide the most significant interdisciplinary documentation of the archaeology of an urban site in North Africa, on a scale comparable to Carthage.
