Rebellion Militia

Stand up and die in revolution's name.

Mavia, Queen of the Tanukhids, was relatively unknown to history until her legendary revolution against the Roman Empire, succeeding where Zenobia of Palmyra failed 100 years before. Indeed, Mavia is considered by most sources a 'warrior queen', indicating she was recognised primarily by her military deeds which, unusually for the time, made her gender irrelevant. In AD378, three years after the death of her husband, peace dissolved and Mavia began a large offensive campaign against the Romans. Her reasons seem to be religious - Emperor Valens sought to supplant the Tanukhid's Orthodox Christianity with his own brand of Arianism, and so Mavia went to war. She often rode at the head of her armies and struck fast into Roman territory, anticipating Imperial tactics and remaining fluid. As the Tanukhids had no central base of operations, the Romans found it difficult to combat their tactics - appearing as they did to be everywhere and nowhere all at once. Mavia's army bested the Romans in open battle on several occasions, and mercilessly butchered those in its way. In the end Valens capitulated, granting Mavia her demand and naming Moses bishop to the Tanukhid people. Despite her stunning victory, Mavia's glory seems to have lived and died with the war as, after peace was brokered, there is little recorded about the rest of her life.
