Po Rome (?–1651), also spelled Po Romê, Po Romé or Po Ramo, was the king of Champa ruled from 1627 to 1651.
Po Rome was a Churu chief, originally from present-day Đơn Dương District, Lâm Đồng Province.[2] Prior to his ascent to the throne, he had stayed in Kelantan for several years.[3] He succeeded the throne in 1627. He subdued both Hindu and Muslim factions, forced peace between Cham communities.[2]
Po Rome built dams and canals to nurture agriculture in Phan Rang basin.[2] During his reign, Champa traded with Siam, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Malay, and even the Western countries including France and Portugal.[1] Champa also raided the areas occupied by Nguyễn lord. Vietnamese Phú Yên governor Văn Phong (文封, he was a Cham) revolted against Nguyễn lord in 1629, but was put down by general Nguyễn Hữu Vinh (阮有榮).[4] In the same year, Po Rome married Nguyễn Phúc Ngọc Khoa (阮福玉誇), daughter of Vietnamese lord Nguyễn Phúc Nguyên.[5]
In 1651, Po Rome died of wounds in Phú Yên during an outbreak of hostilities between Cham locals and Việt immigrants. His elder brother Po Nraup succeeded.[2]
Cham people were sad to hear his death. They built a temple for him. Po Rome Temple located at Ninh Phước District, Ninh Thuận Province.
