Document Details : Title: Bel at Palmyra and Elsewhere in the Parthina Period Author(s): DALLEY, Stephanie Journal: ARAM Periodical Volume: 7 Issue: 1 Date: 1995 Pages: 137-151 DOI: 10.2143/ARAM.7.1.2002224 Abstract : Palmyra has been studied mainly by scholars whose background is either in Graeco-roman studies, or else in West Semitic languages. Its architecture includes such eminently Greek features as an agora, a colonnaded street and a theatre. Yet its main temple is dedicated to the god Bel, a Babylonian epithet from the sphere of East Semitic language. |
