The city shares some characteristics with the Roman province, despite its marginal position and its contacts with less hellenized areas, but is under a strong influence of oriental "cultures" (Aramaic, as well as Arabic, Iranian, Babylonian). The identity of the city can be defined and its leading inhabitants, notables who were part of the Greek city of Palmyra, are sometimes well-known. One can reconstruct their civic careers and note the prevailing role of some families. This rather classical aspect is only a part of the whole, with the permanence of local culture (language, art, religion, onomastic) being the other part. Caravan trade, one of the glories of Palmyra, is another area where the role of the notables, their influence, is to be seen, outside of the city and in the Empire. In Palmyra itself, it is possible to draw a map of their social position, thanks to their monuments built following the special ways of evergetism existing there. Around the leading citizens was an entourage of people less apparent in the epigraphic evidence (women and freedmen), but they are not to be underestimated as shown by the example of Zenobia. Notables, beyond their own life, used to put on stage the power of their family, by the construction of tombs. Those monuments are also signs of the penetration of ways that originated in the Roman Empire, which does not mean that the local traditions were disappearing, as shown by the constant use of Aramaic.Bibliothèque archéologique et historique ;163.Regions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCMiddle EastHILCCTadmur (Syria)AntiquitiesTadmur (Syria)HistoryTadmur (Syria)CivilizationépigraphieEmpire romainSyrie antiqueMésopotamienécropolePalmyreRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle EastHistory & ArchaeologyMiddle EastYon Jean-Baptiste802351PQKBUkMaJRUBOOK9910131920603321Notables de Palmyre1803666UNINA
