Long before modern debates about women and power, Queen Zenobia of Palmyra was building an empire that threatened Rome itself.
Ruling during one of the most turbulent periods in Roman history, Zenobia transformed a precarious position into extraordinary political and military power, conquering vast territories from Syria to Egypt.
