ANCIENT CITIES OF ILLYRIA
In one of Europe’s smallest countries, a treasure trove of archaeology awaits. Oliver Gilkes guides us through the cities of ancient Illyria, now in modern-day Albania.

THE GOLDEN AND THE GROTESQUE
Nero’s spectacular Roman palace, the Domus Aurea, was richly decorated. Dalu Jones describes how its ruins were rediscovered in the 15th century and how artists of the Renaissance were inspired by its extraordinary painted interiors.

CIVILISATION BEGINS
The first cities grew up 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, complex states requiring administration and bureaucracy. Neil Faulkner explores the huge cultural contribution of the world’s oldest civilisation.

EVER-CHANGING EPHESUS
The ancient Ephesus that we visit today is the new city, David Stuttard explains, built on the site of an equally impressive earlier settlement. But the stories that surround the founding and development of both great cities are equally rich in myth and imagination.

PROPERTY, POWER, AND THE BRITISH BAROQUE
A new type of art was required for a new order. The Baroque style in Britain, writes Neil Faulkner, was ideal for the Restoration monarchy, which was trying to reassert its power.

PAVING THE WAY

The dramatic opening up of a sinkhole outside the Pantheon – the 2nd century AD ‘temple of all the gods’ (now a Catholic church) on Rome’s Piazza della Rotunda – has offered a tantalising glimpse of the imperial Roman paving beneath the present-day city streets.

THE GOLDEN AND THE GROTESQUE

EVER - CHANGING EPHESUS

It is one of the most popular archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, but how many visitors know that the ruins they see are those of a new city, not the old? And how many know the rich myth-history of the ancient Ephesians? David Stuttard is our guide.

PROPERTY, POWER, AND THE BRITISH BAROQUE

THE ANTIQUARIAN: Lady Hester Stanhope 1776-1839

It is unusual to feature in a magazine like ours a woman who ordered an ancient statue ‘broken in a thousand pieces’. In April 1815, Lady Hester Stanhope was in Israel, at a site called Ashkelon.
