Urban Squares in Late Bronze Age Ugarit: a Street View on Ancient Near Eastern Governance
This article deals with the socio-political dimension of public space in 13th-century bc Ugarit, with a particular focus on the city’s squares. Ugarit, located on the Syrian seacoast immediately north of modern Lattakia, is one of the best-documented towns in the ancient Levant and a touchstone case-study for urban design. In the following, I explore how urban space intersects with the events of the 13th century, when Ugarit was a thriving capital governed by a monarch who was a vassal to the Hittite Empire. Today, the correlation between urban design and governance in ancient cities is increasingly investigated using an “archaeopolitical” approach.1 According to

From an original emphasis on Old Testament studies in the nineteenth century.
