- Summary:
- "The Pal.M.A.I.S. Syro-Italian Joint Project at Palmyra, established in 2007, aimed to shed light on private housing in the Roman East. Through excavations in Palmyra's southwest quarter, the remains of a residential complex, the 'Peristyle Building', were uncovered; this site was built in the Roman period but was inhabited up to the eighth century AD. This volume, dedicated to Prof. Maria Teresa Grassi (Università degli Studi di Milano), who co-directed the project together with Dr Walid Asaad (Museum of Palmyra), presents selected studies stemming from the Pal.M.A.I.S. Project. It draws together contributions dedicated to the topography of the southwest quarter, the excavation of the Peristyle Building, and selected classes of material. Through detailed analysis and the presentation of fresh data, this volume sheds new light on a relatively unexplored sector of a threatened UNESCO World Heritage site."-- Page [4] of cover.
