	Vaballathus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucius Iulius Aurelius Septimius Vaballathus Athenodorus was king of the Palmyrene Empire.
		Vaballathus is the Latinized form of his Arabic name, Wahb Allat, 'gift of the Goddess'.
		Son of Septimius Odaenathus, governor of Palmyra, and his wife Septimia Zenobia, when his father was assassinated by his cousin Maconius, Vabalathus was made king (rex consul imperator dux Romanorum, "illustrious King of Kings" and corrector totius orientis) of the Palmyrene Empire.

		[[25]] Milestones honoring Vaballathus as rex co(n)s(ul) imperator dux Romanorum 15 and 20 miles south of Bostra along the road to Philadelphia mark further extension of Palmyrene control, and damage at Petra may be attributed to the same Palmyrene campaign.
		Zenobia, Vaballathus and their generals may well have expected their own advantage also to be welcomed by the Roman government.
		Vaballathus assumes the emperor's radiate crown and Latin titulature IM(perator) C(aesar) VHABALATHVS AVG(ustus) on the antoniniani, the diadem and equivalent Greek titulature on the tetradrachms.

	Zenobia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Styling herself queen of Palmyra, she had Vaballathus adopt his father's titles of "king of kings" and corrector totius Orientis ("governor of all the East").
		Zenobia and Vaballathus tried to flee from the city, but they were captured and taken to Rome (272).
		Vaballathus' fate is unknown, but Zenobia married a Roman senator and presumably spent the rest of her life at his villa near Tibur (now Tivoli, Italy).

		Unhappy under the authority of Rome, she took the title "Augusta" and sent her armies to occupy Egypt and parts of Asia Minor while Emperor Claudius Gothicus was preoccupied with problems closer to home: the invading Goths, then attacking Rome from the north.
		Vaballathus assumed the title of Augustus, and had coins struck with his own image and that of his mother - an affront that Claudius' successor, Aurelian, could not accept.
		The Roman armies swept into the city, ransacked it, captured Zenobia and brought her to Rome, where, bound in golden chains, she was made to march behind the Emperor's triumphal chariot through the streets of the city.

		Zenobia and Vaballathus and the First Steps to Revolt On Odaenathus's death in 267, his leadership over the Palmyrenes and claim to the titles illustrious King of Kings and corrector totius orientis passed nominally to his young son Vaballathus.

		The Palmyrene war (272-273) Aurelian's next project was the reintegration of the Eastern provinces into the Roman Empire : Zenobia of Palmyra and her son Vaballathus had established the Palmyrene Empire extending from Egypt to Asia Minor.

	Queen Zenobia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In Arabia, later Arabic legendary history places a figure closely based on Zenobia in bitter conflict with a coalition of Arab tribes called the Tanukh and led by the sheikh Jadhimah.
		During 272, as the dates on Alexandrian issues show, Antioch's and Alexandria's double-headed coins of Aurelian with Vaballathus cease, and new issues appear for Vaballathus and for Zenobia.[[43]] They follow the standard format of Roman imperial coins.
		Latin authors aver that she appeared in the triumph, and even that she lived thereafter in an estate at Tibur;[[45]] some of the Byzantine sources know this tradition, but also an alternative one that she died on the journey west.[[46]] Vaballathus, unless he died on the route toward Rome (so Zos.

		But alas, he was not to find much joy in his new found glory in his many victories, as he was murdered in AD 267.
		As his eldest son, too, was killed his position fell to his widow Zenobia, who ruled through her son Vaballathus.
		With Odenathus' death Gallienus appeared to reach the decision that the time had come to put an end to the the power of Palmyra.

		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.
		Nevertheless, the new heir to the throne, Vaballathus, was the son of Zenobia and Odenathus; it was determined after the death of Odenathus that Zenobia would rule as regent in the name of her infant son.
		That Zenobia was seen as fit to rule is a tribute to a woman who, by all accounts, was more than capable of the task.

		Odenathus is said to have conducted several offensives against the Persians, but there is no reason to believe that he managed to recover Osrhoene and Mesopotamia.
		Nor was this the primary objective of his wife Zenobia, who succeeded (with Vaballathus) when Odenathus and one of his sons were assassinated at Emesa in 267/268.
		Over the next four years, in fact, Zenobia constructed an alternative and independent regime in Palmyra and in successive engagements with the legions stationed in Arabia and Egypt (270) challenged what remained of Roman authority in the east.

		The emperor Gallienus put him in charge of the Roman army of the East with the title of imperator.
		It is unclear whether or not Zenobia was implicated in his death; however, she immediately assumed power as guardian for their infant son, Septimus Vaballathus.
		In an effort to limit her son's power, the Roman emperor restricted the boy's rule to Palmyra, but Zenobia was regent and continued to exercise control over Syria.
