The Palmyrene Empire, one of the four short lived breakaway states of the Empire during the Crisis of the Third Century was one that held the greatest potential of surviving as an independent state, unlike either the Gallic Empire (since the soldiers sought to rule over a united Rome rather than as just a breakaway Empire), or the longer lasting but more unlikely Britannic Empire.

As such, could there be a way for the Palmyrene Empire to survive? Perhaps to serve as a significant buffer between Rome and the newly established Sasanian dynasty? Could such an empire establish a distinct Palmyrene culture?
