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. 650 0 $a Extinct cities $z Tadmur $z Tadmur $v Congresses. 651 0 $a Tadmur (Syria) $x History $v Congresses. 651 0 $a Tadmur (Syria) $x Antiquities $v Congresses. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Extinct cities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918959 651 7 $a Syria $z Tadmur. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01220260 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 720 $a Aruz, Joan 700 1 $a Aruz, Joan, $e editor. 710 2 $a Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) 830 0 $a Metropolitan Museum of Art symposia. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018011626.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=954E11E2E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
