Abstract

Here we will consider the town-planning of Dura-Europos, a Hellenistic, Parthian and Roman town, built on an escarpment above the right bank of the Euphrates river. In particular, we will show that the geometry of the layout of this town is based on a right triangle having a ratio of its catheti equal to 1:2.
