Amazasp II (Georgian: ამაზასპი, sometimes Latinized as Amazaspus) was a king of Iberia (Kartli, modern central and eastern Georgia) and the last in the P’arnavaziani line according to the medieval Georgian chronicles. A son and successor of P’arsman III, he is assumed to have ruled in the latter quarter of the 2nd century, from 185 to 189 according to Cyril Toumanoff.
The Georgian chronicles describe, in detail, Amazasp’s victory over the invading Alans and his reciprocal raid into the Alan lands. His four-year long reign is reported to have terminated in a revolt of his nobles supported by Armenia and the Alans. Amazasp was killed in battle and succeeded by his rebel nephew, Rev I.[1][2]
