This is an original 1923 halftone print of the Triumphal Arch and the temple of Malak-Bel, photography courtesy of F. M. Good. This Temple of the Sun was so captivating in it's own time that the Emperor of Rome, Aurelian, spent three hundred pounds' weight of gold and eighteen hundred pounds' weight of silver to repair it after his soldiers damaged it during the invasion of Palmyra.
