This paper brings the coins of Palmyra, for the first time, into the discussion on how to
define the character of this oasis city in the Syrian steppe. Scholars working on Palmyrene civilization have generally ignored them. This paper aims to provide a counterbalance to this trend and to comment on the usefulness of numismatics for the study of
the city’s religious culture and history.

The present paper was prompted by the appearance on the market of many more radiates of both Zenobia and Vabalathus since the 1970s so that the total number of specimens now stands at 32 for Zenobia and 20 for Vabalathus as Augustus (the coin issue for Vabalathus and Aurelian is much more common). By contrast, the Alexandrian issues of Vabalathus Augustus and Zenobia have been recognized and published for a much longer time

 فخلال معاينتنا لأغلب المنحوتات التدمرية ، لاحظنا وجود سمات رئيسة اتصف بها النحت في تدمر، وفي الوقت نفسه نجد العديد من الإشارات والرموز المرتبطة بحركة اليدين والأصابع ووضعيتهما فوق جسد الشخص الممثل، في واقع الأمر هنالك العديد من التساؤلات التي نود طرحها في هذا البحث، وإن لم تستطع أن نجد إجابات كافية وواضحة لما نحن بصدد التطرق إليه، إلا أنه من المؤكد ستشكل تلك التساؤلات في المستقبل نقطة انطلاقة الأبحاث أخرى أكثر تعمقة.
