Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines the Palmyrene coinage, both those coins locally struck in Palmyra and circulated within the city and those coins minted in Antioch and Alexandria but issued under the authority of Palmyra’s queen Zenobia in the name of herself and her son Wahballath after her conquest of Egypt and subsequent rebellion against Rome. While the former type was meant to circulate locally within Palmyra, the latter was intended to circulate widely in the newly founded Kingdom of Palmyra and the Roman East. The two types of coinage are widely different and were intended for different audiences and will not be treated as a Palmyrene unity. The two types are considered separately in this chapter.
