Emanuele E. Intagliata will deliver a paper at the conference ‘Palmyra, the Roman Empire, and the Third-Century Crisis: Zooming in and Scaling up from the Evidence’ (The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Copenhagen, 7-8 March 2024) organised by Rubina Raja and Eivind Heldaas Seland. The paper aims to present the status quaestionis on late antique and early Islamic Palmyra, focussing on what is now known and the research questions that still have to be fully answered.
