Historical background


VABALLATHUS

(267-272)

Augustus

Vaballath, son of Zenobia and Odenath, succeeded his father who was assassinated in 266 or 267. After a period of uncertainty during which the Palmyraeans occupied Syria, Palestine and Egypt while seeming to recognize the authority of Rome (from where the issuance of Antonians at the beginning of the reign of Aurelian), relations deteriorated quickly. Vaballath had himself proclaimed august in 272. Aurelian, after a short campaign, retook Egypt and engaged in a definitive battle which ended with the destruction of Palmyra and the capture of Vaballath and Zenobia who participated in his Triumph in 274.
