Civil War
View through CrossRef
In early 272, the emperor Aurelian, who deemed Zenobia’s authority to be illegitimate and her bid for power unsanctioned, invaded her territory. Zenobia responded by claiming the titles of Augusta and Augustus for herself and Wahballath. Suffering a series of defeats, Zenobia attempted to flee Palmyra as Aurelian’s forces invested the city. While the sources diverge in their treatment of Zenobia’s fate, the evidence indicates that Aurelian displayed her in his triumph and settled her with Wahballath and her other children at Tibur, near Rome. There she spent the rest of her life.
