Artabanus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artabanus (Ancient Greek: Ἁρτάβανος Artabanos; Middle Persian: ʾltwʾn Ardawān) may refer to various rulers/monarchs of ancient Persia and Parthia:

Confusingly, two systems exist for the regnal numbers of the Artabanuses; in older works, they may be numbered as a regnal number higher than listed above; i.e. Artabanus IV might refer to Artabanus III.

The Mandaic variant of the name is Ardban (also Ardwan).
