Parthia V Vologaeses

0145 - 0208  (~ 63 years)

• Name	Parthia V Vologaeses
  Birth	0145	Armenia
  Gender	Male
  Death	0208	Armenia
  Notes	The final blow came thirty years later. King Vologases V had tried to reconquer northern Iraq during a Roman civil war (193), but when general Septimius Severus was master of the empire, he attacked Parthia. Again, Ctesiphon was captured (198), and large spoils were brought to Rome. According to a modern estimate, the gold and silver were sufficient to postpone a European economic crisis for three or four decades, and we can imagine the consequences for Parthia. Parthia, now impoverished and without any hope to recover the lost territories, was demoralized. The kings had to do more concessions to the nobility, and the vassal kings sometimes refused to obey. In 224, the Persian vassal king Arda?ir revolted. Two years later, he took Ctesiphon, and this time, it meant the end of Parthia. It also meant the beginning of the second Persian empire, ruled by the Sassanid kings.
