Artabanus

Artabanus (Ancient Greek: Ἁρτάβανος) may refer to several rulers of ancient Parthia:

• Artabanus of Persia, reportedly Regent of Persia for a few months in 465 BC–464 B
• King Arsaces II of Parthia c. 211–191 BC, called Artabanus by some early scholars
• Artabanus I of Parthia c. 127–124 BC
• Artabanus II of Parthia c. AD 10–38
• Artabanus III of Parthia c. 80–81
• Artabanus IV of Parthia c. 216–224

There is some confusion over the numbering of these rulers: scholars who give Arsaces II the name "Artabanus I" add one to the regnal number of his successors, thus counting up to Artabanus V.
