I'm going to put this label up to be more transparent.
I requested this image based on the previous images.
I'm not happy with how the pants were designed.
The helmets that this unit would use are very specific.
Auxiliary cavalry helmets.

My intention was only to show Arab clothing used by some Palmyrene units; it's complicated to show a single look for the troops.
The most outstanding and different units in the Palmyra army that distinguish them from other civs are the camel riders.
"Dromedarii were camel-riding auxiliary forces recruited in the desert provinces of the late Roman Empire in Roman Syria".
"A 1000-strong dromedarius unit, the ala I Ulpia Dromedariorum milliaria, was established by Trajan in Syria. A small number of dromedarii is recorded as part of the Cohors XX Palmyrenorum based in Dura-Europos in Roman Syria".
The original uses javelins, but the descriptions mention multiple weapons: swords, spears, javelins, and arrows.
I am using AI to refer to units that have hardly any illustrations.
