Abstract
This project helps to fulfill a crucial need for research on a highly important collection of ancient artifacts housed in the Archeology Museum of Tadmor-Palmyra, Syria. The collection is significant in that it documents the history and culture of a major center of the ancient Mediterranean world. This research has been used to create several museum text panels and exhibition layouts that, once assembled, will be shipped to Palmyra, Syria and installed as part of a permanent exhibition in Palmyra’s Museum of Archeology. Below is text that will be featured on panels concerning Palmyra’s Temple Bel, Palmyra’s principle god Bel, and the Palmyra museum’s collection of antique coins.
