The woman who defeated an empire, about the queen of the east.. Zenobia

The queen of Palmyra, along with her husband Uthaina, led a rebellion against the Roman Empire, during which we were able to control most of Syria.

After the death of her husband, she led the armies of the Kingdom of Palmyra in their conquest of Egypt and Asia Minor before Emperor Aurelian could defeat her and capture her to Rome, where she died.

She was able to lead her people to a comprehensive renaissance and an ambitious military force. She was courageous and ambitious. She played a great role in the East and in Rome itself. She was highly cultured. She spoke the Palmyrene language, an Aramaic language, as well as Greek and Egyptian. Philosophers like Longines brought her close to her, and Roman historians describe her. She was a sign of beauty, brunette with black eyes, her teeth like pearls, her voice resonant, she kept pace with the soldiers, and she rode the chariot or the horse like the best knights, one of the noblest and most beautiful women. Who said when he was wounded in his war with her: The Roman people speak sarcastically of a war I am waging against a woman, but he does not know the extent of this woman's strength and valor, as well as the extent of her character.
