In this important and time­ly publi­ca­ti­on, top inter­na­tio­nal scho­l­ars pre­sent cur­rent rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ments about the art, archaeo­lo­gy, and histo­ry of the anci­ent city of Pal­my­ra, a UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge site loca­ted in Syria. Pal­my­ra beca­me tra­gic head­line news in 2015, when it was over­ta­ken by the Isla­mic Sta­te of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), which des­troy­ed many of its monu­ments and arti­facts. The essays in this book inclu­de new scho­l­ar­s­hip on Palmyra’s ori­gins and evo­lu­ti­on as well as deve­lo­p­ments from both befo­re and after its dama­ge by ISIS, pro­vi­ding new infor­ma­ti­on that will be rele­vant to cur­rent and future genera­ti­ons of art his­to­ri­ans and archaeo­lo­gists. The book also inclu­des a moving tri­bu­te by Waleed Kha­led al-Asa’ad to his father, Kha­led al-Asa’ad, the Syri­an archaeo­lo­gist and head of anti­qui­ties at Pal­my­ra, who was bru­tal­ly mur­de­red by ISIS in 2015 for defen­ding the site.
