This monograph explores the transformation of Berytus and the Bekaa after the Roman colonial foundation in 15 BCE, challenging the traditional perspective of Bronze Age roots for the sanctuary at Baalbek-Heliopolis and its deities.
'To sum up, the book provides a very useful overview of the history of Roman Berytus including the Bekaa valley, which before could only be gained by extensive reading of the scattered literature. (…) Thus, the book is highly recommended for every scholar interested in the late Hellenistic and Roman Levant." - Winfried Held, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Archäologisches Seminar, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2020.11.35
