Description:Excerpt from Zenobia: Or the Fall of Palmyra, Vol. 2: An Historical Romance, in Letters of Lucius M. Piso From Palmyra, to His Friend Marcus Curtius at RomeA deep melancholy came over me. It seemed to me that the days of this people were numbered, and that the gods intending their ruin had first made them mad. Their gayety appeared to me no other than madness. They were like the gladiators of our circuses, who, doomed to death, pass the last days of life in a delirium of forced and frantic joy. Many of the inhabitants I could not but suppose utterly insensible to the dangers which impend - or ignorant of them; but more I believe are cheerful, and even gay, through a mad contempt of them. They look back upon their long and uninterrupted prosperity - they call to mind their late glorious achievements under Odenatus and their Queen - they think of the wide extent of their empire -they remember that Longinus is their minister, and Zenobia, still their Queen - and give their fears to the winds. A contest with Rome they approach as they would the games of the amphitheatre.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
