The kingdom conquered neighbouring Saba' in c. 25 BCE (for the first time), Qataban in c. 200 CE, and Haḍramaut c. 300 CE. Its political fortunes relative to Saba' changed frequently until it finally conquered the Sabaean Kingdom around 280. Following successive invasions and Arabization, the kingdom collapsed in the early sixth century, when the Kingdom of Aksum conquered it in 530 CE. Thereafter, Himyar was ruled by a vassal until its annexation as a province by the Sasanian Empire in 575 or 578.
