Abstract
The actual fortifications of Motya appear to have been formed by a girdling wall around the enceinte and by advanced towers and bastions, mostly of a rectangular form, placed at varying though frequent intervals throughout the line of defence, and especially in the immediate vicinity of the gateways and other approaches to the town. Flights of steps or staircases have been found in two points of the fortifications, leading from these down to the sea-shore” (WHITAKER 1921, p. 140).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
