This index section of this book Le pouvoir impérial dans les provinces syriennes presents a list of cities in the Syrian provinces. The entries are arranged in alphabetical order from A to X. The book analyses the role of the Roman Empire by taking into account the epigraphic, literary, numismatic and archaeological sources from Phoenicia to Osrhoene and from Commagene to Arabia. It addresses celebrations as well as the organization and promotion of the imperial cult in the Near East, while discussing Graeco-Roman cities and rural settlements among desert areas. This includes the imperial cult's forms of expression of symbolic, political, and various other social or religious functions. The book explores the real and imaginary relationships that existed between the Roman Empire and the populations of the Syrian provinces. The original text of the chapter is in French.
