Palmyra has long attracted the attention of the world. Even before its rediscovery in the eighteenth century it had gained legendary status because of its third-century CE Queen Zenobia, who had rebelled against the Romans and expanded Palmyra's territory into that of an Empire, stretching from...

Even before its rediscovery in the eighteenth century it had gained legendary status because of its third-century CE Queen Zenobia, who had rebelled against the Romans and expanded Palmyra's territory into that of an Empire, stretching from what is modern eastern Turkey into Egypt. The city and its queen featured in European art and literature already in the century. Zenobia's Palmyra already existed as a miragein the minds of the educated Europeans. Even though Zenobia's reign and extensive power was a fairly short interlude and the Romans struck hard against the Palmyrenes devastating the city, this path to imperial power was one which tells us an immense amount about Palmyrene identity in the periodbefore the devastation. While Zenobia has gained renewed interest among both scholars and the press, and while she has served as a political symbol for Syria's president As'ad (a statue of her was recently erected in Damascus), the time leading up to her reign still remains underexplored. 0With the current situation in Syria, a researched-based narrative is urgently needed to communicate the importance of this site to the general public. Palmyra has over the last years been used as a symbol of the resistance of the rebels, the power of ISIS over the region, as well as the supremacy of the Syrian state. UNESCO and the Russians have together with the Syrian state taken a particular interest in Palmyra and in monopolizing the potential rebuilding of the site after the destruction0and looting of the past several years have subsided. We are, so to speak, standing at yet another turning point in Palmyra's long history, where history is being reinvented actively by several parties. There can be no doubt that the time is ripe for a book on the archaeology and history of Palmyra, aswell as an analysis of the current situation, including the destruction and illicit trafficking of material remains from Palmyra Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Zenobia, Palmyra (DE-2581)TH000003948 gbd Palmyra (Syrien) [68 F4 SYR] (DE-2581)TH000012115 gbd Zenobia / Queen of Palmyra Zenobia / (Queen of Palmyra) Tadmur (Syria) / History / To 1500 Tadmur (Syria) / Antiquities Syria / Tadmur Palmyra Archäologie +GSB 333.2 +gsb 101 (AT-VLB)LA01028771 vlk Palmyra Geschichte und Landeskunde +gsu 586 (AT-VLB)LA01096299 vlk Palmyra g (DE-588)4044429-6 Geschichte z AT-OBV DE-604 YAOA1 PSK2-1 M I RAJA 2249530490004498 |
