Excerpt from Syria as a Roman Province Few provinces present a greater contrast than Syria between the wealth and splendour of the early empire and the poverty and neglect of the present day. Now, however, there seems to be a possibility that the despotism under which both population and material resources have for centuries declined may give place to some enlightened form of administration; and interest may revive in a country to which recent historians have paid less attention than to other parts of Rome's eastern dominions. In this sketch I have tried to give a brief account of the life and manners, the literature, and antiquities of central Syria and Phoenicia in Roman times, with occasional references to more outlying districts, such as Palmyra, Commagene, and Roman Arabia. I have not, in view of the number of readily accessible works, attempted any description of Jerusalem or the rest of the Holy Land, and for similar reasons, as well as from considerations of space, have not included any account of the development of the Christian Church in Syria, or of the works of ecclesiastical writers.
