The Palmirian writing is represented by documents divided during the period that goes between the year 9 BC until 273, this is the date of Palmiria´s pillaging by Aurelio. The expansion of this writing intimately tied to the development of Palmiria´s commerce, that since the 1St century BC until the 3 Rd century. It monopolised the transactions between Occidental countries and Mesopotamia.
This writing is characterised by an overloaded ornamentation, composed by circles, rings and rubrics; this is a fruit of the substitution of paper by the Aramaic cane.
