What term described Odaenathus' rule post-Emperor Valerian’s capture?
Tyrannical
Autocratic
Independent
Roman vassal
Answer
The term "Independent" aptly describes Odaenathus' rule after Emperor Valerian's capture. As the Roman Empire faced internal turmoil and external threats, Odaenathus emerged as a powerful figure in the East. Instead of immediately submitting to the Sassanid Empire, which had captured Valerian, Odaenathus asserted his independence and pursued his own interests.
