Resize text Roman and other ruins at Palmyra, Syria During the first several centuries of the current era, the Syrian desert oasis of Palmyra was a crucial link in an overland trade network that stretched from Rome to India. The profits of this trade were invested in stunning monuments and works of art that fused Western and Eastern sensibilities. Historian Justin M. Jacobs explores the history of Palmyra, its monuments and sculptures, and its fate during the Syrian civil war. Jacobs is a professor of history at American University.
