Vologases II of Parthia

Coin of Vologases II.

Vologases II of Parthia (Persian: ولاش دوم‎‎) ruled the Parthian Empire from about 77 to 80. Little is known about him. Vologases II was the son of Vologases I of Parthia and was of mixed Parthian and Greek ancestry^[1]^[2] It seems that Vologases II was defeated and deposed by his uncle, Pacorus II of Parthia (ruled c. 78–105). His son was Vologases III of Parthia.
