The evidence for urban religious practices at Palmyra is broad ranging from sanctuaries to altars, to religious reliefs and sculpture as well as inscriptions. However, the visual representations of Palmyrene priests, distinctly recognisable through their priestly hat, a round hat with a flat top, constitute the largest group of evidence testifying to the local religious life in the Roman period. The representations of Palmyrene priests in the Palmyrene iconography, in particular the funerary sculpture as well as so-called banqueting tesserae, are plentiful. Close to four hundred of these exist in the corpus of the funerary limestone sculpture and several hundred in the corpus of the tesserae, about five hundred. While these representations in many ways are repetitive, in that they show male Palmyrenes dressed in priestly clothes, they also differ in the detail and unique expressions adapted by the individual to express their societal status. This paper addresses the Palmyrene priestly representations, the epigraphic sources connected to priests in Palmyra as well as their role in the urban religion of Palmyra across the first three centuries CE discussing in detail the role of Palmyrene priests and their visual representations within the framework of our knowledge of the religion, religious practices and changing urbanity of the oasis city.
