She expanded the territories further to rule E Asia Minor, Syria, N Mesopotamia, and even Egypt. Her ambition outran her prudence, and after she had dared to call her son emperor, the Romans under Aurelian marched against her, took (272) Palmyra, and captured her. She was brought to Rome and exhibited at Aurelian's triumph. Later she was pensioned and lived in retirement at Tibur. By her beauty and intelligence, Zenobia attracted much admiration and sympathy, but her name has also been a symbol of ruthless arrogance. (www.encyclopedia.com....nobia.html)

Zenobia was athird-century queen of Palmyra, a warrior queen. Zenobia led her peoplein a war against Rome, much like Boudica did in England. Zenobia appears to havebeen an Arab, although she may have had many other dashes of blood in her,including Aramaean. Palmyrene inscriptions are found in the Greek, Latin andAramaic languages. Although Zenobia claimed to have been a descendent ofCleopatra (of Egypt), there appears to be no concrete evidence of that. She did,however, know the Egyptian language and had a strong predisposition towards theEgyptian culture. Her mother may have been Egyptian. By associating herself witha past, glorious woman warrior, Zenobia understood the power of good publicrelations. (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
Zenobia didindeed come from a long history of fabulous Syrian and Abyssinian queens,including the Queen of Sheba . The Assyrian records speak of troublesome Arabqueens such as Zabibi, who revolted but was finally subjugated in 738 B.C.Through the years, many powerful queens ruled, both through their husbands andfor their offspring . Julia Maesa ruled for her son the Emperor Alexander andaccompanied him on a campaign in 234 A.D. (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
Palmyra was not aremote Bedouin outpost! No, it was a vital trading link to the Mediterreancities of Phoenicia, Emesa (now known as Homs in Western Syria), Damascus and toEgypt itself. These trading routes provided much money to those in Palmyra andthe people became very wealthy. However, the collapse of the Parthian Empire andthe Sassanids taking the throne of Persia in 227 A.D. ended this prosperousstatus quo. It was under these circumstances, in 258 A.D., that Zenobia 'shusband, Odainat, became a Roman consul. Two years later, the Roman emperor,Valerian was held captive by Sapor I of Persia and was killed. Odainat took tothe field with his archers and the cavalry of the desert Arabs. Zenobia was athis side on horseback (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
Many conquestswere had, including possibly the magnificent treasure of the Persian Emperor.The historians of her era said she was the better man of the two. Although there is no proof that Zenobia was more courageous than Odainat, shewas more reckless . Her voice was clear and manly, useful for rallying thetroops. She could walk with her foot soldiers three or four miles. She coulddrink with the boys; but she was never intoxicated. Those self same historiansclaimed a certain virginity of Zenobia , never allowing her husband to lay withher unless she could get pregnant (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
Her husband andhis heir to the throne, Hairan, was assassinated. Zenobia had to assume theregency of Palmyra on behalf of her son. Her immediate reaction to her newposition was a savage attack against Egypt, taking advantage that the RomanEmpire was hard-pressed in Northern Italy by the Goths. By 269, she had securedmost of the country; at the same time, Zenobia annexed most of Syria to herkingdom. Within a few years of taking control, she had carved out a vast empirefor formerly tiny Palmyra; from Egypt in the south to the Bosphorus in thenorth. She then declared herself formally independent of Rome. (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
Zenobia fell backto Emesa, and it was here her last battle took place. She hadapproximately 70,000 men left as did Aurelian. In those days, this was a verylarge army/battle indeed. In the end the Palmyrenes were no match for theseasoned Roman legionaries. But Zenobia herself was not captured ; she fell backto Palmyra, which was approximately 100 miles across the desert from the battle.Aurelian followed her; laying siege to the city, he finally conquered her city. But still not Zenobia herself. Instead, shesneaked out of the beleaguered city, under darkness , riding a female camel. Shegot as far as the Euphrates River. Here, she was finally captured , eitherrecognized or betrayed (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
Facing Aurelian,she demanded immunity on the grounds of being a woman. It is here at the historyof Zenobia becomes vague. One historian claims she committed suicide, much likeher hero, Cleopatra . However, other evidence suggests that she reached Romesafely where she was made to walk in the Emperor's triumph. Together with thedefeated Goths, Amazon women, and Vandals, walked Zenobia , who had disdainedriding in her chariot. She was shackled by golden chains and strode defiantly. (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
The Palmyrenesdecided to make their stand at the Orontes River, just outside Antioch. The twoarmies were equally matched, unlike the former two Roman reconquests. Zenobia was seen galloping alongside her troops, transmitting orders. At that point, theRomans pretended to flee, luring the Palmyrenes onward until both men and horseswere thoroughly tired. As a result, the cavalry was cut off and underwent ahorrible slaughter . (womenshistory.about.com....enobia.htm)
