Attambelos II
text:
Attambelos II was a king of Characene, a Parthian vassal state and important trading port on the Persian Gulf. His rule was from 17/16 to 9/8BC. He is known only from his coins, which have been found as far away as Susa and on Failaka Island in the Persian Gulf.
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.
