Septimia Zenobia (; ) was a third-century queen of the Palmyrene Empire in Syria. Many legends surround her ancestry; she was probably not a commoner. She married Odaenathus, who became king of the city of Palmyra in 260, elevating it to supreme power in the Near East by defeating the Sasanian Empire of Persia and stabilizing the Roman East. After Odaenathus' assassination in 267, Zenobia became the regent of her son Vaballathus and held de facto power throughout his reign (267 to 272).
Zenobia was a third-century Syrian queen who ruled the Palmyrene Empire as regent for her young son after her husband's assassination in 267. She is historically significant because she wielded real power during a crucial period when the Roman Empire was fragmented, maintaining control over the prosperous eastern territories that her husband had consolidated.
