Valerian rewarded a Palmyrene noble named Odaenathus ​ — Zenobia’s husband — ​ by raising him, in 258 C.E., to the rank of consul of Rome because he had successfully campaigned against Persia and extended the boundary of the Roman Empire into Mesopotamia.
Valerianus aga edutas 258. aastal m.a.j. Palmyra aadliku, Zenobia abikaasa Odaenathuse Rooma konsuli ametisse, kuna see oli edukalt sõdinud Pärsia vastu ja laiendanud Rooma keisririigi piire kuni Mesopotaamiani.
