But how else can we measure monumentality?
Bringing together researchers from various fields such as archaeology, museology, history, sociology, Mesoamerican studies, and art history, this book discusses terminological and methodological approaches in both theoretical contributions and various case studies. While focusing on architectural aspects, this volume also discusses the social meaning of monuments, the role of forced and free labour, as well as textual monumentality. The result is a modern interdisciplinary take on an important concept which is notoriously difficult to define.

About the Author
Sebastian Hageneuer, Near Eastern Archaeologist, works as a research assistant at the Archaeological Institute at the Universität zu Köln. In 2010, he received his degree in Near Eastern Archaeology. Since 2013, he is part of a research group that focuses on the significance of size in the architecture of the Ancient Near East. His research focuses on the history and current methods of architectural reconstruction.
Sylva van der Heyden is an art historian with special interests in the 18th and 19th century, reception history, graphic prints and objects made of unusual material. She was part of a research group in the Excellence Cluster TOPOI (Berlin), which dealt with the topos of the greatness of ancient Rome and worked in this context on her doctoral thesis with the support of a scholarship from TOPOI.
Felix Levenson, Near Eastern Archaeologist, studied Religious Studies and Near Eastern Archaeology at the Freie Universität Berlin. During his PhD research he held the Elsa-Neumann scholarship of the Land of Berlin. He has done fieldwork in Syria, Jordan, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. His research interests reach from architectural energetics over pottery technology to social and cognitive archaeology, as well as heritage management. He is currently focused on »networks of knowledge« between Mesopotamia and Ancient Iran in the 4th millenium BCE and on memory work and the creation of historical narratives in the Ancient Near East.
