Dura-Europos is one of Syria's most important archaeological sites.
Situated on the edge of the Euphrates river, it was the subject of
extensive excavations in the 1920s and 30s by teams from Yale
University and the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.
Controlled variously by Seleucid, Parthian, and Roman powers, the
site was one of impressive religious and linguistic diversity: it
was home to at least nineteen sanctuaries, amongst them a Synagogue
and a Christian building, and many languages, including Greek,
Latin, Persian, Palmyrene, and Hebrew which were excavated on
inscriptions, parchments, and graffiti. Based on the author's work
excavating at the site with the Mission Franco-Syrienne
d'Europos-Doura and extensive archival research, this book provides
an overview of the site and its history, and traces the story of
its investigation from archaeological discovery to contemporary
destruction.
