For the first time, this book weaves together the cultural histories of the cities along the great incense and silk routes that connected southwestern Arabia, Nabataea, Judaea, Syria, and Mesopotamia. It captures the intricate web of influence and religious diversity that emerged in the Middle East through the exchange of goods and ideas. And for our current age, when several of the archaeological sites featured here--including Palmyra, Dura-Europos, and Hatra--have been subject to deliberate destruction and looting, it addresses the crucial subject of preserving what has been lost and contextualizes the significance of these works on a local and global scale. This essential volume features 186 objects of exceptional importance from Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Readers are taken on a fascinating journey that explores sites of intense political and religious struggles against Roman rule as well as important religious centers and military bulwarks of the Parthian Empire. Reaching across two millennia, 'The World between Empires' brings vividly to life how individuals and cities in ancient times defined themselves, and how these factors continue to resonate today."$$c--publisher's description, dust jacket. 000859216 650_0 $$aArt, Middle Eastern$$vExhibitions. 000859216 650_0 $$aArt, Ancient$$zMiddle East$$vExhibitions. 000859216 651_0 $$aMiddle East$$xCivilization$$yTo 622$$vExhibitions. 000859216 655_7 $$aExhibition catalogs.$$2lcgft 000859216 655_7 $$aEssays.$$2lcgft 000859216 655_7 $$aIllustrated works.$$2lcgft 000859216 7001_ $$aSeymour, Michael$$q(Michael John),$$eauthor,$$ecurator. 000859216 7102_ $$aMetropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.),$$eissuing body,$$epublisher,$$eorganizer,$$ehost institution. 000859216 752__ $$aUnited States$$bNew York (State)$$dNew York. 000859216 85200 $$bgen$$hN5345$$i.F69$$i2019 000859216 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:859216$$pGLOBAL_SET 000859216 980__ $$aBIB 000859216 980__ $$aBOOK
