Attambelos III
Attambelos III of Characene was a king of Characene who ruled from approximately 37/38 to 44/45AD.[1][2] His rule is known only by the coins he minted.[3][4] The presence of these coins as far afield as Oman and southern Arabia indicates that his rule saw a time of extensive trade.[5]
He was succeeded by Theonesios II.
