It was a major trading centre that reached its apogee in the first centuries AD before entering a decline as Roman-Sasanian hostilities disrupted the ancient trade routes on which the city depended for its prosperity. This decline continued during the Arab period and it was only in the C20th that the settlement expanded again. This was due to several factors; modern transport facilitating relatively easy access for tourists to the site's spectacular ruins and also the fact that a notorious prison for political dissidents was built besides the modern town of Tadmor and a large garrison of Syrian military personnel were accordingly based in the city. In May 2015 the site was overrun by the so-called Islamic State terrorist group and is now critically at risk.
