Positions and Professions in Palmyra

A comprehensive analysis of Palmyrene professions and social structures reveals the diverse occupational landscape of ancient Palmyra, shedding light on its economic and administrative organization. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological evidence to reconstruct the roles and status of various professional groups, from merchants and artisans to religious figures. This volume, part of the Palmyra Portrait Project (PPP) at Aarhus University, highlights the significance of Palmyra as a crossroads of trade and culture in the ancient world.
