Palmyrene War

The Roman–Palmyrene War of 272–273, also called the Eastern campaigns of Aurelian or, more simply, the Palmyrene War, was fought between the Roman Emperor Aurelian against the Palmyrene Empire. These campaigns were the consequence of the secession of Palmyra desired by Zenobia after the Crisis of the Third Century, who had usurped her husband's title, effectively extending her power over all the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, including Cilicia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Cappadocia, including an invasion of Egypt. The campaign ended with the Siege of Palmyra and with the capture of the Palmyrene queen, Zenobia. For his decisive triumph Aurelian was remembered not only as Palmyrenicus maximus, but also as Adiabenicus, Parthicus maximus, Persicus maximus, but above all as Restitutor orbis, as he had succeeded in reunifying the Empire by defeating both Palmyra and Gaul.
