Zenobia (Greek: Ζηνοβία / Zēnobía; Aramaic: בת זבי / Bat-Zabbai; Arabic: الزباء / al-Zabbā’; 240 – c. 275) was a 3rd-century Queen of the Palmyrene Empire in Syria who led a famous revolt against the Roman Empire. The second wife of King Septimius Odaenathus, Zenobia became queen of the Palmyrene Empire following Odaenathus' death in 267. By 269, Zenobia had expanded the empire, conquering Egypt and expelling the Roman prefect, Tenagino Probus, who was beheaded after he led an attempt to recapture the territory. She ruled over Egypt until 271, when she was defeated and taken as a hostage to Rome by Emperor Aurelian.
Family, ancestry and early life
Zenobia was born and raised in Palmyra, Syria. Her Roman name was "Julia Aurelia Zenobia" and Latin and Greek writers referred to her as "Zenobia" (Greek: ἡ Ζηνοβία) or as "Septimia Zenobia"—she became Septimia after marrying Septimius Odaenathus. She used the Aramaic form "Bat-Zabbai" (בת זבי) to sign her name.Arabic-language writers refer to her as "al-Zabba'" (الزباء).
The Zenobia was a merchant ship built of teak in 1815 in Calcutta, India. She was owned by Mackintosh and Company, and purchased by the Indian entrepreneur Dwarkanath Tagore.
First ship to pass the Torres Straits from westward
Zenobia, under Capt. John Lihou, was reputed to be "the first ship which ever succeeded in passing the Torres Straits from the westward, the general course being from the eastward."
Captain Lihou sailed on Zenobia out of Calcutta for several years, making voyages in the East Indies and the Pacific.
Voyages
The following advertisement soliciting outbound passengers from England appeared in "The Indian Mail" in 1843:
For CALCUTTA, calling at MADRAS, to land Passengers only, the Teak Ship ZENOBIA, 600 Tons, S.H. Owen, Commander. To leave the St. Catherine Docks the 15th December, calling at Portsmouth to embark Passengers. — For Freight or Passage, apply to Messrs. BARING, BROTHERS, and Co., S. Bishopsgate Street; or to JAMES BARBER and Co., 17, St. Mary Ave.
The ZenobiaPas de Deux is a ballet made by George Balanchine, subsequently co-founder and founding choreographer of the New York City Ballet for Richard Rodgers's 1936 musical On Your Toes, in which it was performed under the title La Princesse Zenobia Ballet. Balanchine parodies such Oriental-style ballets as Schéhérazade. The City Ballet premiere took place on Tuesday, November 23, 1993, at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center.

Seminar Series: Great Britain’s Admiralty “Prize Papers” with Thomas M. Truxes - 20 March 2021
The “Prize Papers” are a treasure trove of undelivered mail taken from ships captured during Britain’s naval wars between 1652 and 1815. The documents were handed over to Great Britain’s High Court of Admiralty to prove that the captured ships were indeed enemies and therefore ripe for plunder. The documents include not only personal letters but also poems, drawings, playing cards and journals. They offer a fascinating look at the lives lived and the interaction among people and countries during this time of rapid global expansion and trade.
Professor Truxes has been researching the “Prize Papers” since 2011 when he was at the British National Archives working on a book about Colonial America and came across letters taken from the Irish wine ship Two Sisters captured on its return home ...

Professor Truxes has been researching the “Prize Papers” since 2011 when he was at the British National Archives working on a book about Colonial America and came across letters taken from the Irish wine ship Two Sisters captured on its return home from Bordeaux during the Seven Years’ War. He was captivated by the personal accounts of everyday people from the mid-18th-century. Watch as Tom brings to life some of the amazing personal stories he found as he went through the collection.

This scuba dive took place on 25 November 2017 where we explored the Antipolis Shipwreck. A couple of months before there were massive storms that destroyed most of the wreck. Older videos of the Antipolis Wreck will show the engine room for example. We could not access it since it had collapsed.

This week we talk with Ben Lewis, Germanist, Historian, and the man behind Marxism Translated. We discuss the insanely complex history of the SPD, how WW1 detonated the contradictions in the party, and the history of the shattered remnants as they got hit again with the impact of the Russian Revolution.

Zenobia (Greek: Ζηνοβία / Zēnobía; Aramaic: בת זבי / Bat-Zabbai; Arabic: الزباء / al-Zabbā’; 240 – c. 275) was a 3rd-century Queen of the Palmyrene Empire in Syria who led a famous revolt against the Roman Empire. The second wife of King Septimius Odaenathus, Zenobia became queen of the Palmyrene Empire following Odaenathus' death in 267. By 269, Zenobia had expanded the empire, conquering Egypt and expelling the Roman prefect, Tenagino Probus, who was beheaded after he led an attempt to recapture the territory. She ruled over Egypt until 271, when she was defeated and taken as a hostage to Rome by Emperor Aurelian.
Family, ancestry and early life
Zenobia was born and raised in Palmyra, Syria. Her Roman name was "Julia Aurelia Zenobia" and Latin and Greek writers referred to her as "Zenobia" (Greek: ἡ Ζηνοβία) or as "Septimia Zenobia"—she became Septimia after marrying Septimius Odaenathus. She used the Aramaic form "Bat-Zabbai" (בת זבי) to sign her name.Arabic-language writers refer to her as "al-Zabba'" (الزباء).
Prepare to meet your maker He’s gonna bring you down The reaper’s knocking at your door And he’ll plant you underground You haven’t got a prayer You’re waiting there to die And when your number’s up You’ll kiss your ass goodbye, goodbye! Sooner or later Everybody buys the farm You know it’s nothing new It’s no reason for alarm You act so cool and calm You don’t even blink an eye You haven’t got me fooled ‘Cause no one wants to die! No one, no one survives Meet your maker on the firing line No mistaking, when it’s time it’s time No escaping, when they draw the line If life is taken, please God don’t take mine! Kicking and screaming They will drag you to your grave So face the curtain call now If you’re all so brave This life is terminal We all go in the end The only difference is how we die And when it ends One hundred years from now We’ll all be dead and gone Rotting in our graves Or passed into the world beyond Our days are numbered We’re just waiting for the call Face your mortality For death will take us all! No one, no one survives You die! Prepare to meet your maker He’s gonna bring you down The reaper’s knocking at your door And he’ll plant you underground You haven’t got a prayer You’re waiting there to die And when your number’s up You’ll kiss your ass goodbye, goodbye!
