The essays in this volume bring to bear the latest scholarly and
technological trends in archaeological research to shed new light on the
site of Pisidian Antioch in west-central Turkey. Drawing on 3-D virtual
reality technology as well as archival material from a 1924 University
of Michigan expedition to the site, the authors propose new
reconstructions of the city's major excavated monuments. They also
evaluate these monuments in relation to the social and political
imperatives of Pisidian Antioch's hybrid culture - one that overlaid a
Roman imperial colony on a Hellenistic Greek city in an Anatolian region
long inhabited by Phrygians and Pisidians. The study of Pisidian Antioch
is thus seen in the context of recent scholarship on Rome's colonial
project in the eastern empire. An accompanying DVD presents a fly-over
of the virtual city created to aid in the authors' research.
