Synopsis

Das Buch legt die Tranformation einer fur Pilger und Handler einladend offenen Prunkanlage hin zum abgeriegelten Fortifikationssystem dar. Diese Entwicklung der spatantiken Stadtmauer von Resafa wird bildreich erlautert und in einem Animationsfilm erlebbar gemacht. Es geht um die Wirkung von Prosperitat und Technologietransfer sowie von Krieg, Erpressung und der Pest auf die Organisation einer Grossbaustelle in spatromischer Zeit im Ostreich. Bauforscherische Grundlagenforschung am einfachen Mauerwerk und am Wall-System fuhren zu neuem historisch-prozessualem Verstandnis, auch weit uber Resafa hinaus. This book traces the transformation of a - mostly to pilgrims and traders - inviting and open magnificent building into a sealed-off fortification system. This development of the late-antique city wall of Resafa is explained and richly illustrated and finally made comprehensible in an animated film. The book deals with the effect of prosperity and technology transfer as well as the effects of war, blackmail and the plague on the organisation of a major construction site in late roman times in the Eastern Empire. Basic building research on the walls and the rampart system lead to new historic insights, also into the wider region.
