Palmyra and Its Empire: Zenobia's Revolt against Rome. Stoneman, Richard:

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, slight staining on edge, otherwise very good. / Leicht berieben, leichte Anschmutzung auf Schnitt, sonst sehr gut. - In the third century a.d., the unity of the Western world was threatened by financial crisis, invasion, and plague. The Syrian city Palmyra had long protected Rome against Persian invasion, but in 269, under Queen Zenobia, Palmyra broke away from Roman hegemony. The Roman empire had never been closer to disintegration. Palmyra and Its Empire is the first comprehensive historical treatment in any language of Roman Syria, the revolt of Zenobia, and the city of Palmyra.
