This week on Women of War Hannah and Nicola go back, faaaaar back to the third century to learn how and why Zenobia, the Queen of Palmyra, took on the Roman Empire. Was she trying to feed her people, protect her son, stick it to the Romans, or build an empire of her own? Listen now to find out!
This episode contains references to wartime violence and suicide. It also contains some coarse language, it may not be suitable for all listeners.
This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri land and we pay our respects to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.
All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in this podcast however with the nature of historical research, there may be mistakes or inconsistencies.
Nicola looked it up and septicaemia has no relation to Septimia, because why would it. This being the first time recording in-real-life, Hannah and Nicola apologise for any audio issues - we blame the squeaky table, it will be punished accordingly.
