Summary:

From the preface: "...the present study undoubtedly has some lacunae due to the fact that the monument in question has not been completely brought to light and because of the absence of excavation data. On the other hand, the chance to study a building in a good state of preservation and the possibility of contributing to filling in one of the gaps in our knowledge of the architecture of Cilicia during the Roman epoch have seemed sufficiently valid reasons for undertaking this study." Cilicia is a region of Anatolia that is less well-known archaeologically, and the author and collaborators had permission from the Turkish government and the opportunity to begin study of the theater in August-September 2003. This report offers thorough presentation via texts, drawings, oversize fold-out maps, and an extensive section of photos. The volume is oversize (10x14") and elegantly produced on coated stock.
