Pompey and the Near East
This chapter takes a fresh look at Pompey’s campaigning in the Levant in 64–63 bc, which is widely recognized as a sea change in world history. The campaign marked the Romans’ political intervention in the region and had an immense impact on the organization of a culturally and topographically diverse landscape, transforming it into a Roman province surrounded by client kingdoms. Pompey’s campaign affected how rulership and governance were define…
Religious Life in the Near East
Religious pluralism was a defining feature of all the societies in the Hellenistic and Roman Near East. The Near East was also home to Jews, and its peoples over time played a pivotal roles in the formation of Zoroastrian, Christian, Manichaean, and eventually Muslim communities. This chapter aims to identify various social factors that shaped and structured the Near East’s pluralistic religious landscapes and the religious lives of those inhabit…

Roman Religion at Palmyra
By all appearances, very little of the cultural or religious life at Palmyra is Roman. Yet, when we probe the continuities and changes of Palmyras urban religion over time, we encounter certain cues through which the Palmyrenes demonstrated recognition of their place in the Roman imperial system even as they nurtured distinctly local or regional religious practices. One cue involves the worship of Roman emperors. But other cues were embedded in t…
Syrian Goddess, Arabian God
A noteworthy aspect of cults originating from the Roman Near East was the link that worshippers sometimes drew between a divinity and an ethnic, regional, or provincial label. The contexts for the phenomenon were both diverse and rare. If Atargatis became widely known as the “Syrian goddess,” similar formulations for other gods are more sporadic. They also reflect forms of ethnic categorization, social differentiation, and hierarchical cultural a…
Alternative Urban Economies
Recent advances in archaeological and technological practices and methods are enabling studies of urban economic patterns to be seen in a new light. These can also push the boundaries for what we can conclude from the evidence, which at best is full of lacunae. Here, we focus on evidence from Palmyra that gives insight into how we can begin to disentangle the ways by which Palmyrene society operated with a number of economic systems: non-monetary…
Rebellions, Roman Empire
In the Roman Empire, provincial rebellions constituted acts of violent opposition mounted by inhabitants of conquered territories against the imperial administration, and they are to be distinguished from conflicts between Rome and a foreign power.
Bardaisan of Edessa and Memories of Christian Persecution in the Near East
According to Eusebius, the famous Edessene thinker Bardaisan wrote his work On Fate in a time of persecution and addressed it to a figure named Antoninus (HE 4.30). It is commonly surmised that this ‘Antoninus’ was a Roman emperor who sanctioned Christian persecution in some way. But scholars have varied in their interpretations. Some have identified this figure as Caracalla, who visited Edessa in 216–217. But since Eusebius situated Bardaisan's …
Zenobia
Hailing from the Syrian city of Palmyra, a woman named Zenobia (and Bathzabbai) governed territory in the eastern Roman Empire from 268 to 272. She thus became the most famous Palmyrene who ever lived. But sources for her life and career are scarce. This book situates Zenobia in the social, economic, cultural, and material context of ancient Palmyra. By doing so, it aims to shed greater light on the experiences of Zenobia and Palmyrene women like…
Zenobia’s Likenesses
In many respects, Zenobia’s fame is a paradox. She has captured the medieval and modern imagination, but ancient sources actually say very little about her. The introductory chapter thus explores the textual, epigraphic, and material sources for Zenobia and outlines the challenges of writing a book about her. The overlying aim of the book is to create a likeness of Zenobia, a most elusive task because the sources are so scanty. But by using vario…
The Jewish Tetragrammaton
In his retelling of Exod 3:14-16, Josephus ( A.J. 2.275-276) frames the Tetragrammaton as a name that only Jews knew, and he indicates that Jews were not to intone it or disclose it to foreigners. His account illuminates a practice that certain Jews cultivated regarding their non-disclosure of the divine name. But certain Jews, such as Josephus and Philo, also promoted among themselves and outsiders the premise that knowledge of the divine name w…

Rebellions, Roman Empire
In the Roman Empire, provincial rebellions constituted acts of violence that inhabitants of conquered territories perpetrated against the imperial administration, and they are to be distinguished from conflicts between Rome and a foreign power.
Seducing Autocracy
This article examines Tacitus’ exploration of the motives of Near-Eastern dynasts in Histories 2 and Annals 2. In these books, Tacitus presents Near-Eastern “enslavement” to the Roman empire as an act of will. Near-Eastern dynasts desired to “seduce” Romans into becoming masters and assuming the same despotic and morally enslaved dispositions that they as dynasts exerted. Their slaving helped frame, forge, and actuate a Roman imperial system that…
Local authority and civic Hellenism
In the mid first century BC, a dynast named Tarcondimotus asserted his authority over parts of Smooth Cilicia. Tarcondimotus' successful accommodation of the differing expectations of Roman magistrates, local Greeks and Cilicians was connected to his patronage of the Greek polis of Hierapolis-Castabala. Through such patronage, he collaborated with municipal elites to interweave Greek and local traditions into the city's culture and cult in ways t…
