Take a Roman legion, greek phalanxes, eastern spearmen and ranged firepower, and ram them all together.

Palmyra’s burgeoning empire stood at a crossroads – part of the Roman Empire, jammed between Persian, Arabic, and Egyptian cultures, with Galatians to the north and a history of Greek culture thanks to Alexander and the later Seleucids.
