Sensible questions, like the above that you have asked, can easily be answered through any common search engine such as Yahoo or google, there by saving you the loss of valuable points in which you have diligently accumulated answering others ignoramus questions.
Those ignoramus questions are usually posted by the same morons that wasted their valuable time researching the question through the a for mentioned search engine process, in hopes of they themselves acquiring an extra 10 points and possible 5 star rating for a correct answer.
Personally if I do not know an answer I just move on to one that I do.Using a search engine in my opinion is equivalent to cheating when answering a question.

Queen Zenobia.
Palmyra was fully occupied by the Romans under Tiberius, Augustus' successor and was integrated into the Province of Syria between 14-37 AD. During the next 100 years of Roman rule Palmyra prospered greatly as a trade route linking the East Asian empires of Persia, India, China, and the Parthians who were Rome's enemy for a long time. They managed this by keeping good ties with both the Romans and the Parthians. In 129 AD Hadrian visited Palmyra and was quite enthralled by it and named it Palmyra Hadriana and proclaimed it a free city. In 212 AD Palmyra was considered as a colony of the Roman Empire and Palmyra took a higher military role and caravan trade diminished. Trade diminished even more when the Sassanians took over and occupied the mouth to the Tigris and Euphrates.

The leader Septimus Odeinat (Odenathus) became quite favored by Rome and in 256/7 was appointed by the Emperor Valerian as Consul and Governor of the province of Syria Phoenice which Palmyra had been transferred to in 194. A few years later Valerian was captured and murdered by the Sassanian Persians, and in redemption Odeinat campaigned as far as the Sassanian capital Ctesiphon.

Palmyra's greatest days however were after the murder of Odeinat, when his wife Zenobia started ruling Palmyra on behalf of her son Vaballath. Zenobia with the help of her Prime Minister Longinus extended Palmyrean power to the west and took over Bosra and occupied as far as Egypt (269-270), then she headed for the north and attempted to take Antioch. This sudden expansion posed a threat for the Romans, and after two years in 272 of being flexible Aurelian retaliated and took back Antioch then Emesa (Homs) and then Palmyra itself. Zenobia tried to escape but was captured and was taken back to Rome as a prisoner.

I don't fully agree with 'Just Me's comments. I knew the answer to this question, however I still looked/searched for additional information to enable the asker to continue their own research should they wish to do so. Another point is that people have different methods of doing searches and thereby obtain different information and provide different slants on answers to questions.
