CITY-HINTERLAND RELATIONSHIP: The Case study of the Southwest Palmyrena in Roman Time

Palmyra Portrait Project Lecture by Dr. Paola Mior, University of Udine

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.

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