Fresco from the Temple of the Palmyran Gods in Dura Europos (c. 230 CE): An officer named Julius Terentius leads the soldiers of the 20th Palmyrenes; a cohort of mounted archers stationed on the Euphrates; in a ritual of bloodless sacrifice. He burns incense in honour of the three cult statues of gods dressed in military costume (Yarhibol; Aglibol; and Arsu); ranged on their pedestals on the upper left side of the fresco.

Beside Terentius is the standard bearer of the cohort with the troop colours and; next to him; a seated goddess who wears the mural (city) crown: an inscription identifies her as the goddess of Good Fortune of Palmyra. Pictures From History
