This volume explores how ancient Mesoamerican cities defined themselves through their built environments. Themes include the ways in which a kingdom's monuments reflected geographic space, patron gods, and mythology, and how the Olmec, Maya, Mexica, Zapotecs, and others sought to center their world through architectural monuments and public art.
