These chapters are fascinating, highly readable and well-illustrated throughout and the archival photos from digs at Dura-Europos in the 1930s are beautiful and atmospheric. For those of us unlucky enough not to get to the exhibition, Edge of Empires is a thoroughly satisfying summary of life in an extraordinary ancient town which endured for over five hundred years, and from which much can be learned, not least concerning the inter-action between Jews, Christians and pagans there. -- Rabbi Dr. Charles H.
