Determined to reassert Roman authority in the east after defeat of Valerian at Edessa in 260, Emperor Aurelian led a major force against Zenobia, warrior Queen of Palmyra, whose empire extended beyond Syria to include Egypt and northern Mesopotamia. Palmyrean General Zabdas marched north from Antioch to the Orontes at Immae and was heavily defeated. He lost again a year later at Emessa.
