The Macedonian presence dealt a crucial blow  to Athenian independence and Athenian democracy, initiating the  first in a long and intermittent series of foreign occupations.  The twenty-eight papers in this volume are based on an  international conference hosted by the University of Athens in  May 2001, and focus on various aspects of Athenian art,  archaeology and history in the century of Macedonian domination.  They consider Athens' new role as a political stepping stone for  potential Successors to the throne of Macedon - Cassander,  Demetrios Poliorketes and Antigonos Gonatas were each able to  secure Macedonia by using Athens as a power base - and the ways  in which Athenian culture was affected by the Macedonian  presence. They contribute to the ongoing debate about the reasons  for the Macedonian ascendancy, the degree of independence  accorded Athens by their Macedonian overlords, the third-century  archon list, and changes in Athenian art and architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41053740597345,"sku":"9781842170922","price":59.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27796105.jpg?v=1722069060","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781842170922-macedonians-in-athens-322-229-bc","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
