Sanabares of Parthia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sanabares of Parthia was a rival King of Parthia from c. 50 to 65. There is not much known about Sanabares, except from a few coins witnessing to his rule as a Parthian king, with his capital in the city of Merv for about fifteen years. This much we owe to the dates known from the certain coins of Sanabares. He was rival to Gotarzes II of Parthia (reigned 40–51), Vonones II of Parthia (reigned 51) , Vologases I of Parthia (reigned 51–78) and Vardanes II of Parthia (reigned 55–58).
