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. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-299) and index. 505 00 |tThe Middle East between Rome and Parthia -- |tSouthwestern Arabia -- |tNabataea -- |tJudaea -- |tTyre and Sidon -- |tHeliopolis-Baalbek -- |tPalmyra -- |tDura-Europos -- |tHatra, Ashur, and Northern Mesopotamia -- |tFrom Babylon to Ctesiphon -- |tChanging Times: the Rise of the Sasanians -- |tDestruction and Preservation. 650 0 Art, Middle Eastern |vExhibitions. |=^A917429 650 0 Art, Ancient |zMiddle East |vExhibitions. |=^A1012449 651 0 Middle East |xCivilization |yTo 622 |vExhibitions. |=^A220837 650 7 Art, Ancient. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00815925 650 7 Art, Middle Eastern. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00816611 650 7 Civilization. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00862898 651 7 Middle East. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01241586 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 To 622 |2fast 655 7 Exhibition catalogs. |2gmgpc 655 7 Exhibition catalogs. |2lcgft 655 7 Essays. |2lcgft 655 7 Illustrated works. |2lcgft 655 7 Exhibition catalogs. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01424028 700 1 Seymour, Michael |q(Michael John) |eauthor, |ecurator. |=^A1377798 710 2 Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) |eissuing body, |epublisher, |eorganizer, |ehost institution. |=^A16716 752 United States |bNew York (State) |dNew York. 949 |i30372017331726 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s65.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5101434
