The main goals of the study were the layout of the city grid and the planning of public space. Apart from the remains of the residential (including some monumental in character)and commercial architecture, the prospection of a larger area resulted in uncovering the ruins of public buildings,both secular (baths, porticoes, fountains, and nymphaea) and sacral (temples and churches). The remainsincluded also military installations - forts and barracks, defensive walls complete with gates, as well as preserved fragments of the transport system - passageways between insulae, streets of various width, paved publicsquares, and the facilities in the portside quarter of the city. The article yields not only a commentary on the maps which display the results of the hitherto geophysical prospection and topographical survey, but also provides a wider archaeological and historical context of the development of North African cities from the Hellenistic period through the late Antiquity}, type={Text}, title={Ptolemais : the layout of the city and the organization of public space}, keywords={ancient Libya, ancient towns -- Libya, ancient urban planning, Tolmeita, Cyrenaica (Libya)}, }
