There was a man by the name of Paul of Samosata, he had been elected Bishop by the [[Christian]] community at Antioch in AD 260. He replaced Demetrius, the former Bishop of Antioch who had died. Some of Paul's beliefs of the church were seen as heretical by some. A early church historian by the name of Eusebius said that Paul believed that [[Christ]] was a mere man on earth. A synod was held in Antioch in AD 264 but Paul managed to hide his heresy. The experienced and senior Bishop of Alexandria, Dionysius was too sick to attend. Zenobia apparently became a patron of Paul and power went over to Paul's head. It resulted in a new investigation.

A new synod was held in Antioch in either AD 268 or AD 269 and a man by the name of Malchion was able to nail down Paul's excuses and explanations. Paul was removed from his position as Bishop of Antioch and excommunicated. A letter was sent to the local provinces explaining why they removed him. The Synod declared that they might have been able to overlook and forgive his ambition, arrogance, him being a terrible example to pagan worshipers and other scandalous sins and vices but his heresy was not to be tolerated. A man by the name of Domnus, the son of Demetrius replaced him as the Bishop of Antioch according to [[Jerome]].  But Paul refused to leave the church and was supported by Zenobia.

He was murdered in AD 275 while marching to campaign against the Persian Sassanids by high ranking officials who were tricked by a Secretary of Aurelian name Eros into believing that Aurelian was going to murder or punish them. He was succeeded by Marcus Claudius Tacitus, a old Senator. The army was so shocked at his murder that they did not want to appoint a Emperor after they found out members of their own murdered Aurelian. So they consulted the Roman Senate and eventually they chose Tacitus as [[Emperor]] of the [[Roman Empire]].
