Reviews
In order to properly estimate the value of Baird's short and agile monograph on Dura Europos, the reader should take into consideration the goals of the series it belongs to: Archaeological Histories ... The material remains of the past are not only presented, but also contextualized: they are placed in the society that brought them to light and interpreted them ... Baird's excellent book deals admirably with Dura Europos. It is well documented, interesting, and approachable for the non-specialist. It is also an inspiration for thescholar for deep reflection., "Baird has provided an excellent up-to-date overview of what is known about Dura-Europos. It is a lucid introduction and invaluable for the references for further reading. The greatest added value, however, comes from the author's keen sense of the way in which the history of scholarship depends on particular historical circumstances." - Journal of Roman Archaeology "In order to properly estimate the value of Baird's short and agile monograph on Dura Europos, the reader should take into consideration the goals of the series it belongs to: Archaeological Histories ...

An excellent book that has changed my outlook on many aspects of Dura and its reception, and a book that inspires me to incorporate Dura in my own undergraduate and postgraduate teaching again, not least because Baird's work ... constitutes an invaluable resource for doing so., Dura-Europos is one of the world's most astonishing archaeological sites, a kind of Pompeii providing a remarkable snapshot of life in the Parthian and Roman Middle East when Christianity was developing, and Islam was yet to appear. Jennifer Baird's excellent new book fulfils a longstanding need, for an up-to-date overview of the remarkable archaeological discoveries made at the site, and their significance for scholarship and world heritage. Further, it places exploration of the site, initially conducted in the 1920s and 1930s, in the context of contemporary colonial politics, doing much to explain how and why Dura's treasures came to be revealed. It is also timely for grimmer reasons, as the site has recently been devastated by looters exploiting the chaos of the Syrian civil war. Understanding and disseminating the still-unfolding story of this once-thriving city on the Euphrates is a pressing need, to preserve its testimony and draw on its historical implications. Baird's highly readable book is a major contribution to this effort., Baird has provided an excellent up-to-date overview of what is known about Dura-Europos. It is a lucid introduction and invaluable for the references for further reading.

Synopsis
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 Acad mie 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., Dura-Europos is one of Syria's most important archaeological sites.
