Description
Palmyra (in the desert of Syria) or the fabulous city of Queen Zenobia , appeared for the first time in the 2nd millennium BC.
Palmyra was an ideal halt for caravans moving between Iraq and Al-Sham (present day Syria, Lebanon, Holy Land and Jordan), trading in silk from China to the Mediterranean.
