Phraates III

king of Parthia

died c. 57 BC

king of Parthia (reigned 70–58/57 BC), the son and successor of Sanatruces (Sinatruces).

On Phraates' accession, the Roman general Lucullus (Lucullus, Lucius Licinius) was preparing to attack King Tigranes I of Armenia, who had wrested several vassal states from the Parthian kingdom. Phraates refused to help Tigranes fight the Romans; instead he made an alliance with the Roman general Pompey (Pompey the Great) and invaded Armenia (66 BC). Pompey at first abandoned Mesopotamia to Phraates but later reversed his stand and occupied the Parthian vassal states of Gordyene and Osroëne. Before Phraates could take any action, he was murdered by his two sons, Orodes II and Mithradates III.
