Zenobia the Iberian ((グルジア語:ზენობია), (アルメニア語:Զենոբիա)) (fl. 1st century) was a royal princess of the Pharnavazid dynasty〔Toumanoff, p. 14〕 of the Kingdom of Iberia who was a Queen of Armenia from 51 to 53 and 54 to 55 during the reign of her husband, King Rhadamistus. ==Life== Zenobia was a daughter of King Mithridates of Armenia by his wife, a daughter of King Pharasmanes I of Iberia, who was Mithridates' own brother. At the same time, she was a wife of Rhadamistus who was Pharasmanes I's son.〔Javakhishvili, p. 159〕 Zenobia's father Mithridates reigned in Armenia until her husband and Mithridates' nephew and son-in-law Rhadamistus usurped the Armenian throne by the sudden invasion. Her husband destroyed her entire family. Rhadamistus killed Zenobia's both parents, including her mother who was Rhadamistus' own sister. Zenobia's brothers were also killed by Rhadamistus just because they were crying over their parents' death. After execution of her entire family Rhadamistus became king in 51 and she became his queen. Armenians revolted soon after and with the Parthian support of prince Tiridates I both had to flee back to Iberia. According to Tacitus:〔Tacitus, XII, 51〕 Zenobia is said to have given birth to an unknown son from Rhadamistus in Armenia. Her and her child's later life is unknown. Her husband returning home to Iberia was soon, in 58, put to death as traitor by his own father King Pharasmanes I of Iberia.〔Tacitus, XIII, 37〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zenobia the Iberian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
