Pacorus II

Pacorus II

▪ king of Parthia
flourished 1st and 2nd centuries AD
 
 king of Parthia (reigned AD 78–c. 115/116). Little is known of his reign, which seems to have been filled with rebellions and the rule of counterkings (Artabanus IV, Osroes, and Vologases II).

      In 110 Pacorus sold the Parthian client kingdom of Osroëne to Abgar VII, son of Izates, ruler of Adiabene. It is uncertain whether Pacorus was alive when the Roman emperor Trajan invaded Mesopotamia (114–115).
