Years: 270 - 270
November
The last battle is at the Babylon Fortress, where Tenagino Probus has taken refuge.
Although the Romans have the upper hand, Timagenes, with his knowledge of the land, ambushes the Roman rear, capturing the fortress.
Tenagino Probus ends up committing suicide.
It is stated in the Augustan History that the Blemmyes were among Zenobia's allies, and Gary K. Young cites the Blemmyes attack and occupation of Coptos in 268 as evidence of a Palmyrene-Blemmyes alliance.
The Palmyrenes subsequently annex and tighten their grip on Egypt, declaring Zenobia Queen of Egypt.
