He came to power as a child under his \nregent mother Zenobia, who led a revolt against the Roman Empire and formed the \nindependent Palmyrene Empire.Lucius Julius Aurelius Septimius Vaballathus was \nborn and raised in the city of Palmyra, an oasis settlement in the Seleukeian \nDesert in 259 to the king of kings of Palmyra, Odaenathus, and his second wife, \nqueen consort of Palmyra, Zenobia. Vaballathus is the Latinized form of his \nPalmyrene name, Wahballāt, \"Gift of Allāt\". As the Arabian goddess Allāt came to \nbe identified with Athena, he used Athenodorus as the Greek form of his name. He \nhad a half-brother, Hairan I, born from his father and another woman, who \nreigned as co-king of kings with his father, and a lesser-known brother, Hairan \nII. He also might have had other brothers, who were mentioned in (and only known \nfrom) the Augustan History, Herennianus and Timolaus. Herennianus may be Hairan; \nwhile Timolaus is probably a fabrication.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cfont size=\"5\"\u003eIn 267, his father Odaenathus and \nhalf-brother Hairan I were murdered by a relative, perhaps a cousin of \nOdaenthus's, named Maeonius. Maeonius ruled as a usurper and crowned himself \nemperor but was almost immediately killed, as no inscription or evidence for his \nrule exists. With Odaenathus and his oldest son dead, the succession came to his \nyounger son, Vaballathus. The young Vaballathus was made king (rex consul \nimperator dux Romanorum, \"illustrious King of Kings\" and corrector totius \norientis) of the Palmyrene Empire at eight years old. Being too young to rule, \nhis mother Zenobia ruled as queen regent and was the de facto ruler of Palmyra.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cfont size=\"5\"\u003eAurelian (Latin: Lucius Domitius Aurelianus \nAugustus; 9 September 214 or 215 - September or October 275) \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cfont size=\"5\"\u003ewas Roman Emperor from 270 to 275.
