Description
Ancient Syria: A Three Thousand Year History by Trevor Bryce This comprehensive history spans 3000 years, from the earliest written records in the third millennium BC to the reign of Roman Emperor Diocletian. The story of Syria is one of invasion and oppression, yet also of great rulers who shaped its distinctive character. From the Hittite and Assyrian Great Kings to the Egyptian pharaohs and Persian emperors, numerous civilizations have left their mark on the region. Meanwhile, native-born Syrian luminaries, such as Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, played a significant role in shaping Syria's history. Through its complex and often tumultuous past, Syria has been shaped by a vast array of characters and civilizations. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these individuals and the empires that swept across the plains of Syria, leaving an enduring legacy.
