Hillers, who greatly contributed with his work to Palmyrene studies. However, it is not meant just as a memorial volume, but as a research tool. It contains thirteen papers by scholars in the field of Palmyrene studies and Semitics focusing on different aspects of Palmyrene history, social history, art, archaeology and philology, with publication of newly discovered inscriptions. It offers a state-of-the-art discussion on several issues pertaining to the field of Palmyrene studies, and illustrates methodologies to be employed in order to increase our knowledge of the complex and multifaceted culture of ancient Palmyra and of neighbouring areas. 410 0$aCulture and history of the ancient Near East ;$vv. 22. 606 $aInscriptions$zSyria$zTadmur 607 $aTadmur (Syria)$xCivilization 607 $aTadmur (Syria)$xAntiquities 615 0$aInscriptions 676 $a939/.43 701 $aHillers$b Delbert R$0646954 701 $aCussini$b Eleonora$0646955 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811458803321 996 $aA journey to Palmyra$94201000 997 $aUNINA
