State | Defunct

110 BCE to 530 CE

The Himyarite Kingdom or Himyar (r. 110 BCE–520s), historically referred to as the Homerite Kingdom by the Greeks and the Romans, is a kingdom in ancient Yemen.

Established in 110 BCE, it takes as its capital the modern day city of Sana'a after the ancient city of Zafar.

The Kingdom conquers neighboring Saba (Sheba) in c.2 5 BCE, Qataban in c.2 00 CE, and Hadramaut c. 300 CE.

Its political fortunes relative to Saba change frequently until it finally conquers the Sabaean Kingdom around 280 CE.
