Mawiyya (or Mavia, d. c. 425) was the Arab queen of the Tanukhids — a confederation of Christian Arabs in 4th-c. Syria-Arabia. After her husband's death (c. 375), she led a major revolt against Emperor Valens of Rome, personally commanding cavalry into battle, defeating Roman armies repeatedly and forcing the empire to negotiate. One of the only Arab leaders ever to defeat Rome on the battlefield.
