Adiabene

The Adiabène (of the Araméen Hadyab ) was old a kingdom of Mésopotamie whose capital was Arbèles (modern Erbil in Iraq).

Sovereigns converted with the Judaism

Its sovereigns converted with the Judaïsme at the 1st century. The queen of Adiabène at the time of conversion in the Judaism, Heleni, settled with Jerusalem and made build palates for it and her son Monbaz in the northern part of the quoted of David, in the south of the Mont of the Temple. At the time of the Roman conquest of the Judaea and Samarie (68 - 67 front J. - C.), only Adiabène sent provisions and troops to help the Galileo besieged.

According to the Talmud, Heleni and Monbaz gave important funds for the Temple.

A frontier kingdom of the Roman and Persian empires

Taken between the East of the Roman empire and the Western areas of the empire Parthian then Persian, Adiabène was one of the stakes of many the conflicts which opposed these two empires. Under Trajan, Adiabène could be briefly transformed into Roman province under the name of Assyrie. Septime Sévère conducted a campaign against the kingdom, which had supported its rival Pescennius Niger, inflicted a defeat to him, forced it with the tribute, and celebrated its victory by taking the title of Adiabenicus . With the new provinces created in Mésopotamie, then with the alliance passed with Hatra the Roman power was done much nearer to the small kingdom. Thereafter the victory of the sovereign sassanide Shapur Ier undoubtedly moved away temporarily the Romans from the area. Adiabène had joined Ardashir against Artaban IV, it was a faithful ally of the dynasty of the Sassanides. The setting in defense of the Roman East by princes de Palmyre, in particular Odénat, undoubtedly involved on behalf of this last of the operations in direction of Adiabène, always is it that the tritre of Adiabenicus figure in titulature of its heir Wahballat. With the recovery of the Roman empire, the title of Adiabenicus was taken again by other emperors, in particular Galère after its victories in the East in 297 and 298.
