Historical record
Zenobia ruled Palmyra in the name of her son after the death of her husband, Odaenathus. She expanded Palmyrene control from Syria into Egypt and much of Asia Minor, establishing an independent Roman-style empire with Palmyra as its capital. Emperor Aurelian reconquered the territory and captured her in 272 AD.
Zenobia endures as a symbol of sovereign ambition, political intelligence, and a woman’s refusal to accept a narrow place in imperial history.
Warkind design notes
The front presents Zenobia in royal armor and Palmyrene jewelry. The back widens the view to a queen surveying Palmyra and her army—a visual declaration of rule, place, and self-possession.
