Diocletian’s Edict of Maximum Prices was inscribed on the façade of the city’s Civil Basilica in AD 301. The volume presents the history and background of the Edict, the detailed archaeology of its context on the Basilica, a new consolidated text of the Edict, based on the Aphrodisias version, together with new English and Turkish translations. It aims to be both an epigraphic and an archaeological publication of the most important surviving version of this extraordinary document. Detailed new drawings of the architectural context and photographs of the surviving inscribed panels are included.
The series is dedicated to the publication of archaeological research at the ancient site of Aphrodisias. Aphrodisias was a prosperous city of the Roman period, well known for its cult of Aphrodite and its marble-carvers, and it has remarkably preserved remains from the second century BC to the sixth century AD. The archaeology of the city is especially well-suited to the study of public art and monuments in their ancient contexts and to the investigation of the elaborate architectural mise-en-scène of urban political life in the Eastern Roman empire.
