Vardanes II

Template:Short description Template:Infobox royalty Vardanes II was the son of Vologases I^[1] or Vardanes I Template:Sfn 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]
