<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 2584901, member: 38412&quot;]In 271 AD, Zenobia the queen of Palmyra found herself harassed by the mounting Roman hegemony. She had the courage to name her son Vabalathus as Augustus. It didn&#039;t take Emperor Aurelian too much time to wage war against the usurper and his mother. Soon he gained control of that Syrian province, while Vabalathus and Zenobia were led to Rome.&nbsp; The following coin figures both Aurelian and Vabalathus, each on either side of the bronze antoninianus. I wonder which Authority struck this coin and under which circumstances. It weighs 3.52 g. and is believed to have been struck in Antioch.[ATTACH=full]561794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]561795[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
