Temples and Sanctuaries in the Roman East

Religious Architecture in Syria, Iudaea/Palaestina and Provincia Arabia

By: Arthur Segal

This lavishly illustrated volume presents a comprehensive architectural study of 87 individual temples and sanctuaries built in the Roman East between the end of the 1st century BCE and the end of the 3rd century CE, within a broad region encompassing the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan. Religious architecture gave faithful expression to the complexity of the Roman East and to its multiplicity of traditions pertaining to ethnic and religious aspects as well as to the powerful influence of Imperial Rome. The source of this power lay in the uniformity of the architectural language, the inventory of forms, the choice of styles and the spatial layout of the buildings. Thus, while temples have an eclectic character, there is an underlying unity of form comprising the podium, the stairway between the terminating walls (antae) and the columns along the entrance front - in other words, the axiality, frontality and symmetry of the temple as viewed from outside. The temples and sanctuaries studied in this volume demonstrate individual nuances of plan, spatial design, location in the sanctuary and interrelations with the immediate vicinity but can be divided into two main categories: Vitruvian temples (derived from Hellenistic-Roman architecture) and Non-Vitruvian temples (those with plans and spatial designs that cannot be analysed according to architectural criteria such as those defined by Vitruvius). The individual descriptions presented focus solely upon the analysis of the external and internal space of the temples of all types and do not involve any cultural or ethnic discussion.

Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

By: Arthur Stupka

With Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines in hand, visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains National park are able to see the trees instead of just the forest. The location of various stands of virgin forest, the elevations at which certain trees and shrubs are found, and other pertinent floral data are contained in this handy guide by Arhtur Stupka. Published with the cooperation of the Great Smoky Mountains Association, the book includes sixteen pages of pictures showing rare or exceptional specimens and forest vistas. A special feature of the volume is a twenty-four-page section of identifications to keys to each group of plants prepared by Dr. A.J. Sharp (1904-1997), former University of Tennessee professor of botany and former president of the Botanical Society of America.
