Orodes The King Of Kings
Apr, 11, 80 BC
The history of the Parthian kings are very obscure especially during this period but Orodes I is mentioned as Shahanshah of the Arsacid dynasty in a report of lunar eclipse in April, 11, 80 B.C in Babylon. Although his rule that had started in 90 B.C. must have ended after ten years in 80 B.C. Part of his reign must have coincided with Mehrdad II the great who extended the borders of the Parthian empire to its limits. (Updated: Mar, 9, 2008)
