Artimi Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Has anyone read the fictional account of Zenobia, ( I gather it is a trilogy): The Rebel Queen by Judith Weingarten. Or the non fictional account: Palymyra and its Empire: Zenobia's Revoilt againts Rome by Richard Stoneman? And / or could anyone recommend other non-fiction books about Zenobia?

Aurelian and the Third Century (Alaric Watson, 1999) has a couple of well written chapters on the Palmyrean Dynasty and Kingdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar CXXXVII Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 You can try "Zenobia of Palmyra" by Agnes Carr Vaughan, 1967 (250 pages, cover all you want to know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artimi Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thank you all. I written down all the books and authors. The one by Pat Southern was in stock and affordable right now. I will see how my interest goes with this one, before I look into purchasing others. The book by Alaric Watson looks interesting, if only because of the writer's first name. But even the paperback version is expensive. This one goes on my wish list that no one sees.........lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoah ... you're right. When I bought a couple years ago it was only $30. You can get a good used copy for around that price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/041...ref=ed_oe_p_olp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
