 | | Zenobia "is said to have known Egyptian" (113, no citation): the source is HA Th.Tyr. | | | His evocation of "queens in Semitic nations" (118-121, "Queens among the Arabs" -- Stoneman is eager to find Zenobia paradoxical in "Arab" society) surely explains less about Zenobia than does the example of Roman empresses, especially those from Syria. | | | Some informed modern speculation on the facts and methods of the campaign would certainly be worth more than those late imaginings. |

| | The History of the Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire - Vol 1 - Chapter XI Part III |
| | In his march over the sandy desert between Emesa and Palmyra, the emperor Aurelian was perpetually harassed by the Arabs; nor could he always defend his army, and especially his baggage, from those flying troops of active and daring robbers, who watched the moment of surprise, and eluded the slow pursuit of the legions. | | | Another and a last labor still awaited the indefatigable Aurelian; to suppress a dangerous though obscure rebel, who, during the revolt of Palmyra, had arisen on the banks of the Nile. | | | The offence was soon forgot, but the punishment was remembered; and Mæonius, with a few daring associates, assassinated his uncle in the midst of a great entertainment. |

| | ZENOBIA SEPTIMIA (Jewish Encyclopedia) - BibleWiki |
| | Zenobia appears to have been friendly to the Jews; and according to some accounts, which, however, lack authentication, she was herself of Jewish descent. | | | That she came into close relations with the Jews is shown by Yer. | | | Empress of Palmyra; regent (from 267 to 273) for her minor son Vollabathus, who had been appointed imperator by the emperor Aurelian. |

| | Aurelian's Eastern Campaign |
| | Eventually it became apparent to Zenobia that the cause was lost and she resolved to flee the city; she did manage to get out of the city on camelback but was caught by the Roman horse and brought to Aurelian. | | | Others speculate Zenobia was behind this as it was convenient that Odenathus as well as his heir died; ultimately no real answer may ever be found. | | | There are many opinions as to why Zenobia rebelled against Rome; the most probable was her desire to rule an semi-independent state and the refusal of Claudius and Aurelian to accept her semi-independent authority, despite her attempts to appease them and avoid the conflict. |

| | While Zenobia claimed Cleopatra as an ancestor, she far exceeded her in chastity and valor. | | | She claimed direct descent from the Macedonian kings, of Egypt and the Macedonian homeland. | | | Zenobia’s husband, Odenathus, was a Syrian nobleman who earned his way up the ranks to become ruler of Palmyra. |

| | Queen Zenobia was half-Greek and half-Arab, and claimed descent from Cleopatra. | | | She may have been involved in the assassination of her husband, King Odaenathus, but no one knows for sure. | | | The forces of Zenobia, which has so boldly advanced into Asia and Egypt, were soundly defeated by the strategic might of Aurelian, who used his calvary to exhaust the heavily-armored Palmyrenes in the desert sun and then attacked the worn-out soldiers with his fresh horsemen. |

| | Queen Zenobia's History |
| | In Zenobia's response, she made reference to the fact that Cleopatra, whom she claimed as an ancestor, committed suicide rather than allowing herself to be captured by the Romans, and confidently asserted that she would be the one victorious, given her alliances. | | | After his death by assassination, Zenobia began an expansion of Palmyrian territory, which came to include eastern Asia Minor, Syria, northern Mesopotamia, and even Egypt. | | | Zenobia was an ancient queen of the Eastern city of Palmyra who became a substantial threat to the Roman empire. |

| | Details of the assassination have always been murky, but Zenobia has sometimes been blamed, because her own young son by Odaenathus succeeded to the Palmyrine throne. | | | Aurelian spared the population but took its wealth and leaders back for trial at Emesa. | | | Zenobia today: There are still Syrians who regard Zenobia as an archetype for Syrian aspirations. |

| | She claimed to be descended from Cleopatra VII of Egypt and Mark Antony (and many modern historians believe she was), as well as Dido (the supposed founding queen of Carthage, according to the Aeneid) and declared herself the political heiress of both. | | | Zenobia and her son were captured as they fled to seek aid from Persia. | | | The Roman emperor Aurelian, with his policy of re-uniting the Roman Empire and acutely aware of the danger Zenobia posed, led a military campaign that resulted in the conquest of her kingdom in 272. |

| | Zenobia, rather than simply mourn her husband's death, immediately sent for the errant son's arrest and had him executed. | | | But one of the sons of Odenathus held imperial ambitions and managed to kill his father as well as a half-brother while the two were being entertained at a banquet. | | | Together with Zenobia the two turned out to rule wisely and were beloved in the various eastern provinces. |
