Abstract:

The growth and prosperity of Palmyra as a community during the first three centuries of Common Era, without denying the main role of the long-distance trade, depended also on the management of human and material resources of its territory. The economic and social relation between city and hinterland was a complex but integrated system. The presentation aims to show some aspects of this interconnection by analyzing a portion of the wide Palmyrene territory: the Southwest.


Please be on time, as the doors to the museum will close when the lecture starts.

There will be a stand-up reception after each lecture at the foyer.

The Palmyra Portrait Project is funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and Aarhus University.
