Stone faces representing Roman Syrians
Caption
These stone faces, representing Roman Syrians, who lived between about AD 50-270, come from tombs outside the city of Palmyra. Their fashions are Syrian but they are shown in realistic Roman Style. There were three types of tombs, all built for wealthy citizens: single-storey house tombs, towers of several storeys and underground rock-hewn tombs.
