| Summary: | Syria has long been one of the most trouble-prone and politically volatile regions of the Near and Middle Eastern world. This book looks back beyond the troubles of the present to tell the 3000-year story of what came before: the peoples, cities, and kingdoms that arose, flourished, declined, and disappeared in the lands that now constitute Syria, from the time of the region's earliest written records in the third millennium BC, right through the reign of the Roman emperor Diocletian in the early 4th century AD. |

Syria
has long been one of the most trouble-
prone and politically volatile regions of7 the
XSTear and JVIiddle Eastern Avorld. This book
loóles
back beyond the troubles of the present
to tell a
3000—
year story of vhat happened
many centuries before. Trevor
Bryce
reveals
the peoples, cities, and kingdoms that arose,
flourished, declined, and disappeared in the
lands that now constitute Syria, from the
time of its earliest: written records in the
third millennium
в с
until the reign of the
R-oman emperor X^iocletian at the turn
of the
3—
-fth century ad.
Across the centuries, from the Bi-on^e Age
to the Rorn.an Era, we encounter a vast array
o í
characters
a iad
civilizations, enlivening,
enriching, a tad besmirching the annals
of Syrian Jriistzory^: IHTi trite and A-Ssyrian
Great KLings; Egyptian pharaohs; Amorite
robber-barons; the biblically notorious
Nebuchadnezzar; IPersia s Cyrus the Great
arid Macedon s Alexander the Great; the
rulers of the Seleucid empire; and an assort¬
ment ofRome s most distinguished and
most infamous emperors.
^Ajll svv^ept
across the
plains and mountains of Syria, arid marched
along her coast, at difrex-ent stages in her long
history-
AJĽL
contributed, in one way or another,
To Syria s special, distinctive character, as they
imposed themselves upon it, fought orxe
another AA^ithin it, or pillaged their
лллау
through it.
B vrt
this is not just a history of invasion and
oppression. Syria had great rulers of her
оллт^
native-born Syrian, luminaries, sometiines
appearing as local champions who sought
to liberate their lands from foreign despots,
sometimes as cunning, self— seelcixT-g manipula¬
tors ofsquabbles between their overlords. Tliey
culnninate w^ith
Zenobia, Qvieen
of Palmyra,
Avhose lire provides a fitting grand finale to the
first: three millennia of Syria s recorded history-
Trie conclusion looks forward to the IVXuslim
conquest in the yth century
Агз:
in manyways
the opening chapter in the equally complete
and
ofturi
troubled i±story of
modena
Syria.
