Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Palmyra has captivated global interest for centuries, especially due to its legendary Queen Zenobia, who in the third century CE defied Roman authority and expanded the city's reach into modern Turkey and Egypt. Although her empire was short-lived and ultimately crushed by the…Romans, her ascent reveals much about Palmyrene identity before her defeat. Despite renewed scholarly and media attention on Zenobia, particularly as a political symbol in contemporary Syria, the period preceding her reign remains largely unexplored. This comprehensive history of Palmyra in English integrates extensive archaeological and literary evidence, covering its settlement from the Bronze Age to its emergence as a significant urban center during the late Hellenistic and Roman periods, its destruction in 273 CE, and its endurance through the Byzantine and medieval Islamic eras. The narrative concludes with Palmyra's modern rediscovery and its tumultuous experiences during the Syrian civil war, where it became a symbol of resistance, ISIS power, and Syrian state supremacy. Following years of devastation and looting, efforts for site security and restoration are underway. This pivotal moment in Palmyra's long history presents an opportune time to reflect on its past, present, and future.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Palmyra has long attracted the attention of the world. Well before its rediscovery in the seventeenth century, the ancient city gained legendary status because of its Queen Zenobia, who in the third century CE rebelled against Rome and expanded Palmyra's territory into what is now modern Turkey…and Egypt. Even though Zenobia's empire was a fairly short interlude and the Romans struck back hard, devastating the city, her path to imperial power was one which tells usmuch about Palmyrene identity in the period before the defeat. While Zenobia has gained renewed interest among both scholars and the press, and while she has served as a political symbol for Syria'spresident Assad--a statue of her was recently erected in Damascus--the time leading up to her reign still remains underexplored.APearl of the Desert is the most comprehensive history of this fabled ancient city in English. Assimilating the rich archaeological and literary evidence, Rubina Raja unfolds the story chronologically, from the earliest evidence of settlement in the Bronze Age to Palmyra's rise as an urban center in the late Hellenistic and Romanperiods, its destruction by Rome in 273 CE, and its survival in the Byzantine and medieval Islamic periods. The book ends with a discussion of Palmyra's modern rediscovery and, more recently, its chaotic misfortunesduring the Syrian civil war when it was used as a symbol of, alternately, the resistance of the rebels, the power of ISIS, and the supremacy of the Syrian state. After several years of destruction and looting, securing of the site has begun as well as planning for its restoration. At this turning point in Palmyra's long history, there is no better time to assess the past, present, and future of this remarkable city. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
