Description
Alan Cadwallader’s meticulous and extensive work on the site of Colossae is made available to a wide audience in this fascinating, yet readily accessible book. … No other study of Colossae takes readers so vividly into the hustle-and-bustle of that ancient city, nor so skilfully handles the available evidence. … this book is bound to become a standard work on the subject.
Paul Foster, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh

An engagingly visual guide book to a lost city from a scholar in the forefront of research on Colossae… Cadwallader’s often ground-breaking work gives us unprecedented access into the life and context of this city.

Fragments of Colossae pulls together what we know about the ancient site and weaves it into a coherent picture of the city’s vibrant life. Someday Colossae will be excavated. Until then, Alan Cadwallader’s Fragments of Colossae is the best and most complete introduction to the city.
