“Of interest to all archaeologists specializing in ancient architecture, particularly of the Hellenistic period, this volume reviews what we think we know about Hermogenes and updates our evidence in the light of new discoveries and analysis. Clear, complete, and interesting.” - Marietta Dromain, Université Bordeaux Montaigne “With a fine analysis of Vitruvius’ context in Rome, Zarmakoupi and excavators at key sites challenge conventional interpretations of the architect Hermogenes by comparing Vitruvius’ text with recent archaeological information.” - Mary Hollinshead, University of Rhode Island
