Attambelos II

Attambelos II was a king of Characene,[1][2] a Parthian vassal state and important trading port on the Persian Gulf.

His rule was from 17/16 to 9/8BC.

[3] He is known only from his coins, which have been found as far away as Susa and on Failaka Island in the Persian Gulf.

[4] His Tetradrachms have a low silver content and like almost all Characene coinage show the kings likeness on the front and Heracles on the reverse.

His bronze coins show a Nike on the reverse.
