Septimia ZENOBIA (Palmyrene: ( c.240–c.274) was a third-century queen of the Syria-based Palmyrene Empire.

Many legends surround her ancestry; she was certainly born to a noble Palmyrene family and married the ruler of the city, Odaenathus.

Her husband became king in 260, elevating Palmyra to supreme power in the Near East by defeating the Sassanians and stabilizing the Roman East.

After Odaenathus' assassination, Zenobia became the regent of her son Vaballathus and held de facto power throughout his reign.

According to Augustan History, the queen's hobby as a child was hunting. Apparently not a commoner, she would have received an education appropriate for a noble Palmyrene girl.

According to the Augustan History, in addition to her Palmyrene Aramaic mother tongue, Zenobia was reportedly fluent in Egyptian and Greek and spoke Latin.

Around age 14 (c. 255) she became the second wife of Odaenathus, the ras (lord) of Palmyra.

In 270, Zenobia launched an invasion which brought most of the Roman East under her sway and culminated with the annexation of Egypt.

By mid-271 her realm extended from Ancyra in the north to southern Egypt, although she remained nominally subordinate to Rome.

However, in reaction to Roman emperor Aurelian's campaign in 272, Zenobia declared her son emperor and assumed the title of empress (declaring Palmyra's secession from Rome).

The Romans were victorious after heavy fighting; the queen was besieged in her capital and captured by Aurelian, who exiled her to Rome where she spent popular the remainder of her life.

Zenobia was a cultured monarch and fostered an intellectual environment in her court, which was open to scholars and philosophers.

She was tolerant toward her subjects and protected religious minorities.

The queen maintained a stable administration which governed a multicultural, multiethnic empire. Zenobia died after 274, and many tales have been recorded about her fate. Her rise and fall have inspired historians, artists, and novelists, and she is a national hero in Syria.

Zenobia ruled an empire of different peoples; as a Palmyrene, she was accustomed to dealing with multilingual and multicultural diversity since she hailed from a city which embraced many cults.

The queen's realm was culturally divided into eastern-Semitic and Hellenistic zones; Zenobia tried to appease both and seems to have successfully appealed to the region's ethnic, cultural and political groups.

The queen projected an image of a Syrian monarch, a Hellenistic queen and a Roman empress, which gained broad support for her cause.
