[ SOLD OUT ] RAJA, R., Pearl of the Desert. A History of Palmyra. Oxford University Press, 2022. 248p. Hardback. Raja's account of Palmyrene history studies the city's glorious civilization of the first three centuries of our era in the context of the site's earlier settlement and especially of its later reception and also of the tragic events which occurred in Syria over the last decennium. The book is a vital contribution to the ongoing debates about Palmyra's place within multiple social, cultural, and political networks of the ancient world.
