Vardanes II was the son of Vologases I [1] or Vardanes I [2] 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. [3] 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. Nothing more about him is known. [4]
