Abstract

The inhabitants of the Roman provincial city of Palmyra, in Syria, commemorated their dead with a distinctive type of funerary portraiture over a two-hundred-year period, starting in roughly 65 C.e. and lasting almost until the destruction of the city in 273 C.e. A large number of these portraits remain, making them an ideal corpus for the exploration of social relations in antiquity, in particular the negotiation of social identity under Roman hegemony.
