The Population of Emesa and Its Region in the Roman Period article

Maamoun Abdulkarim

Studia Eblaitica, Jahrgang 9 (2023), Ausgabe 1, Seite 145 - 156

In this contribution I carried out an assessment of the archaeological discoveries from various districts of the present city of Homs, considering, in addition, the excavations carried out over the past thirty years, most of whose results have not yet been published. It follows from this assessment that the occupation of the city dates back only to Roman times and later, but not prior to this date. This first observation was supplemented by the study of epigraphic data. These have shown that no known inscription is dated to the Hellenistic period. Using these results, it therefore seems that Emesa, as an important city, did not exist before Roman times, although cities like Arethusa or Apamea, also located on the banks of the Orontes, were already important Hellenistic cities, located however in a natural context different from that of Emesa.

The Preservation of the Agricultural Land Divisions in the Limestone Massif of Northern Syria during the Roman and Byzantine Eras article

Maamoun Abdulkarim

Studia Eblaitica, Jahrgang 6 (2022), Ausgabe 1, Seite 111 - 142

The paper presents the analysis of the limestone massif in Northern Syria during the Roman and Byzantine eras with new evaluations and considerations of the morphology of the ancient landscape in relation to the exploitation of natural resources (water) and the organization of the arable land for agriculture. Modern and contemporary shape of the area still reflects and shares the same characteristics of the past and the observation of the anomalies can definitely contribute to the reconstruction of the ancient rural landscape and the identification of the several archaeological sites therein.
