In #Iran they say " #Esfahān nesf-e-jahān ast" ( #Isfahan is half the world).
A city full of world heritage sites, which #Israel is now bombing, causing serious damage - barbarism on a par with #ISIS destroying #Palmyra & the #Taliban destroying the #Bamiyan Buddhas.

c. 150–250 CE

#FrescoFriday brought me back to the Tomb of the Three Brothers in #Palmyra. In the main exedra, medallions of the dead rise between loculi, upheld by Victories; above, Odysseus finds Achilles on Skyros. Palmyrene matrons with infants line the buttresses. Striking case of provincial cosmopolitanism
Palmyra was an important trading city within ancient Syria. It's history as a site of human activity dates back to the Neolithic period and the city had been in existence thousands of years before the Roman influence was felt in the region.
