Title: Twilight Cities Lost Capitals of the Mediterranean
Author: PANGONIS KATHERINE


Katherine Pangonis explores five forgotten cities of the Mediterranean: Syracuse, Antioch, Ravenna, Tyre and Carthage. Each of these of these ancient cities has a claim to have been the centre of the world in its own time. Their fascinating entwined history takes in Alexander the Great, the Byzantine general Maniakes, and the Roman, Byzantine, Arab and Norman conquests. All were once major power centres that have declined into relative obscurity - but their glory still lingers for those who seek it out.

Combining on the ground research with spellbinding storytelling skills, Katherine Pangonis brings these mysterious ancient cities back to life, and tells a new story of the Mediterranean.
