  1. Tiridates I of Parthia

    Tiridates , or Teridates is a Persian name, given by Arrian in his Parthica to the brother of Arsaces I of Parthia Arsaces I , the founder of the Parthia n kingdom, whom he is said to have succeeded in about 246 BC. But Arrian s account seems to be quite unhistorical and modern historians believe that Arsaces continued to rule Parthia until 211 BC. In Arrian s account, Tiridates maintained himself for a short time in Parthia, during the dissolution of the Seleucid empire by the attacks of Ptolemy III of Egypt Ptolemy III in 246 BC and the following years. Tiridates was defeated and expelled by Seleucus II Callinicus Seleucus II in about 238 BC. But when Seleucus was forced, by the rebellion of his brother, Antiochus Hierax , to return to the west, Tiridates came back and defeated the Macedon ians. Tiridates adopted the name of his brother Arsaces, and after him all the other Parthian kings. s start s hou Arsacid Empire Arsacid dynasty Unknown 211 BC s bef before Arsaces I of Parthia Arsaces I s ttl title List of kings of Persia Great King Shah of Parthia years c. 246 BC 211 BC s aft after Arsaces II of Parthia Arsaces II end See also Tiridates II of Parthia is called Tiridates I in accounts that miss out the earlier Tiridates.
