• Resumen

  • The new urban realities encountered in the Macedonian conquest of Asia must have left their mark on their privileged observers, thehistorians who accompanied Alexander on his expedition. The irretrievable loss of these accounts has, however, left its traces, more or less evident, inthe preserved testimonies derived from those sources. The aim of this workis precisely to try to detect the traces, however slight, of a series of urban topographies that aroused the curiosity or admiration of those who had theopportunity to contemplate them.
