Artabanus III of Parthia

Artabanus III of Parthia is a rival for the crown of the Parthian Empire during the reign of Pacorus II, against whom he revolts; his own reign extends from about 80 to 81 CE.

On a coin of 80 he calls himself Arsaces Artabanus.

He is strong enough at one point to support Terentius Maximus, a pretender to the Roman Empire who arises in Asia Minor under the name of Roman Emperor Nero, but ultimately cannot maintain himself against Pacorus.
