At Yale University’s Art Gallery is the shrine to the god Mithras known as the Mithraeum from Dura-Europos, dating to 168-69 CE. It don’t care much about Mithras but do adore the Palmyrene archers in the Roman army who renovated it in 209-211 CE & added some mean mugging animals (pic is my own). 🐴

That went to the wire! The Sasanians had pushed through the centre although the Palmyrene infantry were still fighting! Meanwhile, the Sasanian infantry were about to be completely encircled. Sasanians did enough to win however if the Palmyrenes had one more turn it would have been a very different!

This actually kind of makes be believe that legend about how he gave the Palmyrene queen Zenobia a cushy villa after defeating her in battle MIGHT be true.
I thought it was just fan-fiction wish-casting. But if he made Tetricus a governor it seems plausible that he could’ve spared Zenobia, too.
