Palmyrena
Palmyrena or Palmyrene (from Ancient Greek Παλμυρηνή Palmurēnḗ; Latin: Palmyrena, short for Syria Palmyrena, lit. 'Palmyrene Syria' or regio Palmyrena, lit. 'the Palmyrene region'), also referred to as Solitudines Palmyrenae (lit. 'the Palmyrene solitudes') in Latin sources, was the vast region surrounding and controlled from the ancient city of Palmyra, in Syria. Archeological research dedicated to Palmyrena (and not just Palmyra) truly began in the first half of the 20th century, conducted by Alois Musil, Antoine Poidebard and Daniel Schlumberger.
