Map 68 Syria Compiled by JP Brown (South) and P.-L. Gatier, 1997 Map 68 Syria Compiled by J.P. Brown (south) and P.-L. Gatier, 1997 Introduction The map is divided into three geographic regions from west to east: the mountainous Jebel Ansariyeh between the coast and the R. Orontes valley; the so-called Limestone Massif of rocky hills and plateaus, ending to the south in the Jebel Zawiye; and the eastern steppe of basalt and limestone which turns to mountains, especially north of Palmyra. The Jebel Ansariyeh remains little known archaeologically. It was probably more heavily forested in antiquity than today, although to what extent remains unclear (Rey-Coquais 1974, 69). The Limestone Massif, divided between Antiochia (Map 67 C4) and Apamea, is crowded with many ruined villages, mostly built during Late Antiquity (fourth to sixth centuries). Here and in the adjoining parts of the steppe, extensive archaeological exploration started at the end of the nineteenth century (de Vogüe 1865; Butler 1903; 1907; Lassus 1935; Tchalenko 1953; Tate 1992). Except around Palmyra (Schlumberger 1951), less work was done in the more eastern parts of the steppe. New surveys have recently begun in this zone (Geyer 1998). Poidebard (1934) and Mouterde (1945) did pioneering research in aerial archaeology, surveying the eastern steppe. Unfortunately their work was not followed up with adequate ground survey and excavation. Thus many of their conclusions have been questioned, especially their proposed dating of the structures they discovered, and the nature of the complex network of roads they identified. Some sites that they identified as Roman forts, for example, have subsequently been dated to the pre-classical or Islamic periods (Kennedy 1990). On the issue of roads, see Thomsen 1917; Bauzou 1989; 1993. The main changes in natural features are water-related. Several dams have been built recently on the R. Euphrates (Tabqa), Orontes (Restan) and other smaller streams, creating reservoirs or lakes. Equally, modern drainage and irrigation have led to the disappearance of swamp areas (Orontes valley and coastal plains) and a reduction in the size of several lakes (Jabboul in E1, Lake of Homs in C4). See Calvet (1992) and Besançon (1995). The ancient dam of the Lake of Homs is hard to date (Roman, according to Seyrig 1959; or earlier, Calvet 1992; Gatier 1996). The supposed long aqueduct from Salamias to Apamea seems very questionable (Geyer 1998). Numerous water channels and qanats were created for agricultural purposes around Salamias and in the region between Jabboul Lake and the Palmyrene mountains (Geyer 1998); most were either made, or restored, in Late Antiquity. Canals for irrigation or transport, or both, are attested in the Euphrates valley (Lauffray 1983). Recent research has identified scattered traces of Hellenistic-Roman centuriation around (H)Emesa, Laodicea and Epiphaneia, as well as in the northern Jebel Zawiye, but many conclusions remain tentative (Dodinet 1990; 1994; Tate 1992, 235; 1994). Much attention has focused on the monasteries known from lists in Syriac sources of the sixth century A.D. The majority are situated in the Limestone Massif (see among others, Caquot in Tchalenko 1953 III; Mundell Mango 1983). South A unique feature of the map (extending into the northern part of Map 69) is the sole epigraphic documentation of a forest from classical antiquity. At some date under the emperor Hadrian (A.D. 117-138), two of his procurators, C. Umbrius and Q. Vettius Rufus, marked out the boundaries of the imperial forest in the Mount Lebanon range (no doubt including many stands of the cedar, Cedrus Libani) with the words IMP. HAD. AUG. DEFINITIO SILVARUM. Today their inscriptions stand in the living rock in the midst of barren, sun-baked shale. In 1969-70 Jean-François Breton, in dangerous political conditions, reviewed and republished them (Breton 1980); but he was MAP 68 SYRIA 1043 unable to visit the northern Lebanon. The lines marked on the map follow the placement of the inscriptions, and offer an approximate lower boundary for the forest as it then existed. Within it stand three of the many Roman temples of Lebanon and Antilebanon, described by Krencker (1938). Along the Phoenician coast are the city of Byblos and the later one of Tripolis (although its Greek name predates Alexander). In the desert far to the east stands the caravan city of Palmyra, which for a brief period in the third century A.D. dared to rival Rome. To the south, it was linked to Damascus along a route marked by Roman forts and milestones, the Strata Diocletiana (Dunand 1931); to the northeast, a route attested by TabPeut continued to Soura. The map also marks a route northwest to Apamea (its course very doubtful, but attested by TabPeut), and another poorly attested one west to (H)Emesa. By its very nature the caravan route to the R. Euphrates is likely to have fluctuated considerably, and cannot be marked, despite the frequent mention of it in many Greco-Aramaic inscriptions from Palmyra. The road from Heliopolis (modern Baalbek, Map 69 D1) north to (H)Emesa must surely have been connected to the coastal route in the valley of the R. Eleutheros (Nahr el-Kebir); but only a solitary milestone at modern Semaqiyat attests to it. The great Crusader fortress Krak des Chevaliers (modern Qal'at al-Husn) appears only as the conjectural site of the road-station ‘Carion.’ Directory All place names are in Syria unless otherwise noted Abbreviations DCPP E.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

The Lebanese Ministry of Environment wishes to maintain the natural grandeur of the region, even during the massive renewal that is occurring as a result of the end of their civil war. In order to understand the interconnectivity between the river and the groundwater a groundwater-surface water interaction study was completed. This study utilized a groundwater flow model and a mass balance analysis to determine where the river is losing and gaining.

Johnson, Supervisor ___________________________ Janet Downie ___________________________ Joshua D. Sosin ___________________________ Jed W. Atkins An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classical Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2019 Copyright by David William Frierson Stifler 2019 Abstract This dissertation investigates ancient language ideologies constructed by Greek and Latin writers of the second and third centuries CE, a loosely-connected movement now generally referred to the Second Sophistic. It focuses on Lucian of Samosata, a Syrian “barbarian” writer of satire and parody in Greek, and especially on his works that engage with language-oriented topics of contemporary relevance to his era. The term “language ideologies”, as it is used in studies of sociolinguistics, refers to beliefs and practices about language as they function within the social context of a particular culture or set of cultures; prescriptive grammar, for example, is a broad and rather common example. The surge in Greek (and some Latin) literary output in the Second Sophistic led many writers, with Lucian an especially noteworthy example, to express a variety of ideologies regarding the form and use of language.
