Al-Ababeed (Arabic: العبابيد, lit.'The Anarchy') was a Syrian soap opera and historical fiction centered around the 3rd-century Syrian Palmyrene Empire which aired in the Ramadan season of 1997.

In the show, the role of Zenobia of Palmyra is played by famous Syrian actress Raghda.[1] Zenobia's struggle against the Roman Empire is used allegorically to represent the struggles of the Palestinian people to gain self determination.[2]

The series was watched and admired by millions all across the Arab world.[1]
