Question
An uprising in favor of this ruler was led by “Cyclops,” a gigantic merchant reputed to withstand hammer blows to the chest and eat ostriches in a single sitting. This ruler of the “four tribes” is cast as an ‘Amlaqi who killed King Jadhima of the Tanukhid confederation in al-Tabari’s account. This ruler fortified and alternately names the citadel of Halabiye, the site of many of the “tower tombs,” rock-cut hypogea, and frontal-facing funerary reliefs characteristic of this ruler’s realm. This ruler’s (*) cavalry of “oven-pot men,” or clibanarii, were worn out by extreme heat at the Battle of Immae. Zabdas led an invasion of Egypt under this ruler, who claimed Ptolemaic descent. This ruler was paraded alongside Tetricus of the Gallic Empire after both were defeated by Aurelian. For 10 points, name this spouse of Odaenathus (“oh-DAY-na-thus”) and regent of Vaballathus who led a breakaway state in Palmyra. ■END■
