Site Description This area covers the World Heritage Property of Palmyra (inscribed in 1980 and added to the UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger in 2013. Built on an oasis in the desert, Palmyra contains the monumental ruins of a great city that was one of the most important cultural centres of the ancient world. From the first to the second century, the art and ar- chitecture of Palmyra, standing at the crossroads of several civilizations, PALMYRA married Graeco-Roman techniques with local traditions and Persian in- fluences: “The splendour of the ruins of Palmyra, rising out of the Syrian de- sert northeast of Damascus is testament to the unique aesthetic achievement of a wealthy caravan oasis intermittently under the rule of Rome[…] The [streets and buildings] form an outstanding illustration of architecture and urban layout at the peak of Rome’s expansion in and engagement with the East.

  • The Human Sculpture and Paintingsin the Tombs of Palmyra in the Roman Era
    The human sculpture and paintingsin the tombs of Palmyra in the Roman era Dr. Houmam Sharif Saad The human sculpture and paintings in the tombs of Palmyra in the Roman era Palmyra is considered the epitome of Syrian cities in the heart of the Syrian Desert during the Roman era. Deemed as one of the most prominent cities of the time, Palmyra reflects the creative spirit and cultural depth and openness in the Levant. It played an important role in an era that is considered the richest in its history and became famous worldwide, which made it one of the most important and richest cities of the ancient world. Now, it has become a main source of information regarding its cultural production and ingeniousness in the various fields that have reflected the greatness of Syria and its high status in one of the epochs of its glorious history. As known in the scientific community, the importance of Palmyra was highlighted because of its strategic location that bordered two warring empires: the Roman Empire to the west and the Parthian and Sasanian Empires to the east. This location qualified it to be an important stop for commercial caravans, a crossroads of the East and West, and a place for cultural exchange; and it is this exceptional location that made Palmyra in the first few centuries AD a lively commercial hub. Thus, Palmyra became a very rich city, especially when it gained its English summary 5 independence and became more like a free zone exempted from taxes, which gave it a boost and led to its prosperity in all walks of life: economic, social, cultural, artistic, architectural, etc.

  • Ancient Syrian Sites: a Different Story of Destruction
    Ancient Syrian Sites: A Different Story of Destruction 1. Among the major turning points of the Syrian conflict, few have been laden with as much symbolism—or geopolitical posturing—as the recapture of the ancient city of Palmyra on March 27, 2016. After a weeks­ long campaign by Russian bombers and Syrian regime soldiers, the withdrawal of ISIS forces from this extraordinary desert oasis was celebrated as bringing an end to an infamous reign of barbarism. Connecting Rome and the civilizations of the Mediterranean with Mesopotamia and the empires of the East, Palmyra had been one of the great trading centers of antiquity; for centuries, its incomparable ruins had stood as monuments to Arab glory and Levantine cosmopolitanism. Over the previous ten months, however, the jihadists had reduced to rubble its most important shrine, a soaring, exquisitely decorated first­century­ CEtemple dedicated to the Mesopotamian god Bel, who was central to Palmyra’s religious cult. ISIS also blew up a second temple, dedicated to the other supreme Palmyrene deity, Baalshamin; it toppled the triumphal arch on the colonnaded main street, which may have commemorated a Roman victory over the Parthians in the late second century CE; demolished several of the city’s distinctive tower tombs; and sacked the archaeological museum at the site. Most chillingly, it executed the eighty­one­year­old Syrian archaeologist, Khaled al­Asaad, who had for decades been in charge of the site. At the end of his moving new book, Palmyre: L’irremplaçable trésor, which is dedicated to al­Asaad, the French archaeologist Paul Veyne describes one of the extraordinary artworks on the Temple of Bel that was lost: Last July…one could still have seen, in bas­relief, a procession of people coming to venerate the god Bel.

  • The Role of Palmyrene Temples in Long- Distance Trade in the Roman Near East by John Berkeley Grout
    The Role of Palmyrene Temples in Long- Distance Trade in the Roman Near East by John Berkeley Grout A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London Summer, 2016 Supervisor: Prof. Richard Alston, Department of Classics D M PAUL R. A. D’ALBRET BERKELEY AVUS CARISSIMUS DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, John Berkeley Grout, hereby affirm that this thesis and the work presented herein is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly indicated. Signed, John Berkeley Grout ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the archaeology, epigraphy and historiography of Palmyrene temples and long- distance trade in early Roman Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and western Iraq. Forty-two temples are examined, both Palmyrene and comparanda, in both urban and rural settings. New models are proposed which characterise the roles which these temples are shown to have played in long-distance trade. These models include: ‘networking’ temples acting as foci for the network of trust upon which long-distance trade relied; ‘hosting’ temples acting as foci of trade itself, hosting fairs and exhibiting wealth from long-distance trade; and ‘supporting’ temples directly supporting trade via infrastructure such as waystations or caravanserais. New insight is thus provided into the role of temple institutions in the broader economy, in urban and rural life, and in the fabric of society as a whole. In the first part, fundamentals are established, terms defined and academic and historical background set, including the historiographical context of the thesis.
