Situated in northwest Asia Minor on a volcanic rock overlooking the Gulf of Adramyttion, Assos now stands in the village of Behram Köyü, Çanakkale. The settlement goes back to the second millennium BC and was later re-established by Aeolian settlers from Methymna in the 7th century BC. Assos possesses the only temple in the Doric order in Archaic Asia Minor. Great construction activities were conducted in the 4th century BC during the tyranny of the Banker Eubulus and his slave Hermeias. Aristotles visit and his founding a school in Assos in 347-345 BC are arguably the most famous events in the history of the city. During Roman rule, Assos established good relations with Rome and as a result it was granted autonomy and the right to issue coins. The visit of St. Paul is another important landmark in the history of the city. In 1838 some of the architectural blocks were smuggled to Paris. The Archaeological Institute of America carried out the first systematic excavations in Assos between 1881-1883. A century later, Turkish archaeologists started to dig on the site. With its archaeological remains, authentic village culture, beautiful sea, hotels, restaurants, olive groves and forests, Assos offers visitors an unforgettable experience and journey back in time. This book provides readers with a handy guide to Assos/Behram Köyü and its environs., Homer Kitabevi, 2014, Rural Commission on the Historical Monuments of England and Council for British Archaeology, London, 1986.

New. 15 x 23 cm. The valleys of Betwa and Bes, in Madhya Pradesh the central state in India, have cradled, since time immemorial, great centers of culture and civilization. Gyaraspur, which is now just an obscure village in a gorge of low steep hills, in one of the valleys, had been such a center. The place abounds in relics and ruined temples belonging to Saivism, Vaisnavism, Buddhism and Jainsm. Ancient relics and monuments such as Maladevi Temple, Hindola Toran, Bajramath, Athakhamba, Buddhist stupas, Katarmal Bhairav and renowned sculpture of the nymph Salabhanjika speak a lot about the architectural and artistic splendor of Gyaraspur. These monuments and sculptures are of great interest to historians of culture and art. They did attract the attention of archaeologists and historians in the past, and stray mentions of them appeared in Archaeological and administrative reports but no serious studies have so far been done. The present author, who is an administrator by profession but a historian and archaeologists by choice, has tried to convey, in this work, something new, the truth about the monuments in relics and ruined temples belonging to Saivism, Vaisnavism, Buddhism and Jainism. Describes in vivid detail the architectural remains and sculptures of Gyaraspur in central India, throwing light on the philosophy, psychology and eco-social environments inspiring the creation of these monuments.
