Palmyra changed hands on a number of occasions between different empires before becoming a subject of the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Empire" title="Roman Empire">Roman Empire</a> in the first century CE. </p><p>The city grew wealthy from <a href="/wiki/Caravan_(travellers)" title="Caravan (travellers)">trade caravans</a>; the Palmyrenes became renowned as merchants who established colonies along the <a href="/wiki/Silk_Road" title="Silk Road">Silk Road</a> and operated throughout the Roman Empire. Palmyra's wealth enabled the construction of monumental projects, such as the <a href="/wiki/Great_Colonnade_at_Palmyra" title="Great Colonnade at Palmyra">Great Colonnade</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Temple_of_Bel" title="Temple of Bel">Temple of Bel</a>, and the distinctive tower tombs.

The <a href="/wiki/Hellenistic_period" title="Hellenistic period">Hellenistic period</a> of <a href="/wiki/West_Asia" title="West Asia">West Asia</a> influenced the <a href="/wiki/Culture_of_Syria" title="Culture of Syria">culture</a> of Palmyra, which produced distinctive art and architecture that combined different Mediterranean traditions. The city's inhabitants worshiped <a href="/wiki/Canaanite_religion" title="Canaanite religion">local Semitic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Mesopotamian_religion" title="Ancient Mesopotamian religion">Mesopotamian</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Religion_in_pre-Islamic_Arabia" title="Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia">Arab</a> deities. </p><p>By the third century, Palmyra had become a prosperous regional center. It reached the apex of its power in the 260s, when the Palmyrene King <a href="/wiki/Odaenathus" title="Odaenathus">Odaenathus</a> defeated the <a href="/wiki/Sasanian_Empire" title="Sasanian Empire">Sasanian</a> emperor <a href="/wiki/Shapur_I" title="Shapur I">Shapur I</a>. The king was succeeded by queen regent <a href="/wiki/Zenobia" title="Zenobia">Zenobia</a>, who rebelled against Rome and established the <a href="/wiki/Palmyrene_Empire" title="Palmyrene Empire">Palmyrene Empire</a>. In 273, Roman emperor <a href="/wiki/Aurelian" title="Aurelian">Aurelian</a> destroyed the city, which was later restored by <a href="/wiki/Diocletian" title="Diocletian">Diocletian</a> at a reduced size. The Palmyrenes converted to <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a> during the fourth century and to <a href="/wiki/Islam" title="Islam">Islam</a> in the centuries following the conquest by the 7th-century <a href="/wiki/Rashidun_Caliphate" title="Rashidun Caliphate">Rashidun Caliphate</a>, after which the Palmyrene and Greek languages were replaced by <a href="/wiki/Arabic" title="Arabic">Arabic</a>. </p><p>Before 273 CE, Palmyra enjoyed autonomy and was attached to the Roman <a href="/wiki/Syria_(Roman_province)" class="mw-redirect" title="Syria (Roman province)">province of Syria</a>, having its political organization influenced by the <a href="/wiki/Polis" title="Polis">Greek city-state</a> model during the first two centuries CE. The city became a <a href="/wiki/Colonia_(Roman)" title="Colonia (Roman)">Roman colonia</a> during the third century, leading to the incorporation of Roman governing institutions, before becoming a monarchy in 260. Following its destruction in 273, Palmyra became a minor center under the <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_Empire" title="Byzantine Empire">Byzantines</a> and later empires. Its destruction by the <a href="/wiki/Timurid_Empire" title="Timurid Empire">Timurids</a> in 1400 reduced it to a small village. Under <a href="/wiki/French_Mandate_of_Syria" class="mw-redirect" title="French Mandate of Syria">French Mandatory</a> rule in 1932, the inhabitants were moved into the new village of <a href="/wiki/Tadmur" class="mw-redirect" title="Tadmur">Tadmur</a>, and the ancient site became available for excavations.
