A landmark work in classical archaeology and Mediterranean history, Salamis in Cyprus: Homeric, Hellenistic and Roman presents a comprehensive examination of one of the ancient world's most storied city-kingdoms, tracing its remarkable evolution across three defining eras of antiquity. Drawing on extensive excavation data and historical sources, Karageorghis chronicles the rise and transformation of Salamis from its legendary Homeric foundations — rooted in the myths of Teucer and the aftermath of the Trojan War — through its flourishing Hellenistic period and into its later Roman incarnation. The work details the rich material culture unearthed at the site, including monumental tombs, royal burials, and civic architecture that illuminate the city's political power and cultural sophistication. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible in its narrative sweep, it argues for Salamis as a critical nexus of Greek, Near Eastern, and Roman influences in the eastern Mediterranean. This authoritative volume remains an indispensable reference for archaeologists, historians, and anyone captivated by the ancient civilizations of Cyprus.
