The Palmyrene Empire

The Palmyrene empire was a splinter state of the Roman Empire located in the Middle East in the Roman Civil Wars of the 3rd Century AD. Queen Zenobia took control of the Empire after her husband's assassination in place of her young son. She quickly conquered Egypt and almost all of the Middle East. Despite her numerous victories, she was eventually defeated and her empire crumbled.
