Vardanes II was the son of Vologases I[1] or Vardanes IScript error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". and briefly ruler of parts of the Parthian Empire. In ancient records he only appears in Tacitus.[1] Otherwise he is only known from coins that are dated between 55 and 58 CE.[2] He rebelled against Vologases I at Seleucia from about 55 to 58 CE and must have occupied Ecbatana, since he issued coins from the mint there, bearing the likeness of a young beardless king wearing a diadem with five pendants. The lack of facial lesions on his coins sets him apart from other Parthian rulers, many of whom were depicted with nodules resembling trichoepithelioma. [3] Other than that nothing more about him is known.[4]
