Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of studying the housing characteristics of Hellenistic settlements of the Mediterranean, poorly covered in historiography. A comparative analysis of 14 Mediterranean settlements is given according to the following criteria: area, construction methods, layout, reconstruction, purpose. Specific models of space organization and construction are inscribed in the existing typologies and concepts. The contribution of European and American specialists to the study of Mediterranean rural house-building is considered.
Keywords
Mediterranean, Hellenism, house-building, rural settlements, foreign historiography.
