it's due to her that Odenathus routed the Persians and chased King Shapur all the way to Ctesiphon. I can guarantee that this woman sowed such terror with her arms throughout the East and Egypt, that neither the Arabs, the Saracens, nor the Armenians dared to move. Let those who aren't familiar with these deeds remain silent, because there's honor in having defeated her. What will they have to say about Gallienus, whom she despised, under whose reign she held on to her empire by warding him off? What will they say about Claude, the holy and venerable prince who, embroiled in the wars against the Goths, tolerated her rule, so that this queen, carrying his arms nonetheless, could more easily finish her other wars? This, my daughters, is what my conqueror had to say about me, even though I had to follow his chariot. Show the same fairness and believe me, anyone who lived this way did not need to commit suicide to immortalize their name.<hr>

                                         Effect of this speech<hr>
          This speech shows that a persuasive speaker can easily sway others. These princesses lived because their mother did not wish to die, and the gardens that had been given to them by Aurelian as a residence, now called Tivoli, seemed more beautiful to them than a coffin. History implies that this queen was always very appreciated by all the ladies of Rome, and her daughters married men from the most powerful families. This may seem insignificant according to their lineage, but it was a lot considering their distress, for the Romans had believed that Antony and Titus married unworthily, even though they had married queens. This feeling was proud, but it was that of world rulers. That sums it up.<hr>

         Zenobia is a queen-empress and holds authority over Egypt and Asia Minor. She is married to Odenathus, King of Palmyra. After his and their son Hairan's assassination around 267, Zenobia transferred her husband's titles, including "King of Kings," to her son Wahballat.<hr>
         Odenathus is the founding king of the Palmyrene Empire, which encompasses the Roman provinces of Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and large parts of Asia Minor. He ruled this empire from Palmyra until he was murdered in 267 in Emesa.<hr>
         Palmyra is an ancient city in Syria, located near an oasis in the Syrian desert, 210 km northeast of Damascus. Its ruins are adjacent to the modern city of Tadmor.<hr>
         Aurelian is a Roman emperor who reigned from the summer of 270 to September 275. He reunified and sustainably consolidated the Empire against the barbarians. He embarked on religious and monetary reforms. He captured Palmyra and took Zenobia to Rome as war booty.<hr>
