Stoneman, Richard: Palmyra and Its Empire

Zenobia's Revolt against Rome. Drawing on discoveries in archaeology, the history of the Silk Road, numismatics, and Roman and Persian history, Richard Stoneman has assembled a collage of knowledge about this intriguing period. As he tells the story of this major revolt and its leader, the author surveys the history of the spice trade in antiquity, the religious ferment of third-century Syria, early modern travelers to Palmyra, and in particular Zenobia's changing image through the ages.
