Orodes III of Parthia

1

Orodes III (also spelled Urud III; Wērōd) was king of the Parthian Empire from 4 to 6. Albeit he was an Arsacid, his lineage is unknown. He was raised to the throne by the nobility two years after the death of the previous co-rulers, Phraates V and Musa ((r. 2 BC – 4 AD)). Information regarding the brief reign of Orodes III is lacking. He was killed after a reign of 2 years. He was succeeded by Vonones I.
