Arsaces

Arsaces is the eponymous Greek form of the dynastic name (rather than the personal names of the kings) adopted by all epigraphically attested rulers of the 'phil-hellenenic' Arsacid dynasties. The indigenous Parthian and Armenian form was Arshak.

Kings of this name include:

• Arsaces I of Parthia, c. 247–211 BC
• Arsaces II of Parthia, c. 211–191 BC, in older sequences known as 'Artabanus I'
• Arsaces of Pontus, Roman Client King of Pontus in the second half of the 1st century BC, son of Pharnaces II of Pontus
• Arsaces of Armenia, son of Artabanus III of Parthia also known as Arsaces I of Armenia, King of Armenia 34-35
• Arsaces II (Arshak II), King of Armenia c.350–368
• Arsaces III (Arshak III), King of Armenia 378–387
