Abstract

Abstract:In addition to its impressive fortification circuit, the ancient Greek city of Mantineia was further safeguarded by a number of signal towers located along the periphery of its territory. Combining a review of the published literature with satellite reconnaissance and personal observation, this article is the first detailed architectural study and synthesis of all known Mantineian signal towers. Having examined their construction and location, and by applying viewshed analyses in the chronological and historical context of the region, it is shown how these signal towers, including two previously unknown examples, functioned together as parts of a larger defensive system built to protect both the polis and chora of Mantineia from all cardinal directions.

曼提尼亚省的防御网络

摘要:除了令人印象深刻的防御工事外，古希腊城市曼蒂尼亚(Mantineia)还通过位于其领土外围的许多信号塔进一步得到保护。结合对已发表文献的回顾、卫星侦察和个人观察，本文首次对所有已知的曼提尼亚信号塔进行了详细的建筑研究和综合。研究了它们的建造和位置，并在该地区的时间和历史背景下进行了观察分析，展示了这些信号塔，包括两个以前未知的例子，是如何作为一个更大的防御系统的一部分共同发挥作用的，该防御系统是为了保护曼蒂尼亚的城邦和合唱团免受各个主要方向的侵害。
