Sanatruces II of Parthia , the son of Mithridates IV of Parthia Mithridates IV , was a pretender to the throne of the Parthian Empire during the disputed reign of his uncle Osroes I of Parthia Osroes I . When Osroes was deposed by the invading Roman Emperor Trajan in 116 in favor of the puppet ruler Parthamaspates of Parthia Parthamaspates , Sanatruces and his father, Osroes brother Mithridates, together claimed the diadem and continued the struggle against the Romans in Mesopotamia . Trajan then marched southward to the Persian Gulf , defeated them, and declared Mesopotamia a province of the Roman Empire . After the Romans withdrew, Osroes drove out Parthamaspates and reclaimed the Parthian throne. Mithridates IV eventually succeeded Osroes about 129 and reigned to about 140 , when he died in an attack on Roman Commagene . Sanatruces, whom he had appointed his successor, predeceased him, also falling in a battle with the Romans. Thus the pair s earlier reign during the abortive campaign of 116 proved Sanatruces sole taste of kingship. His father s longtime rival Vologases III of Parthia Vologases III took over Mithridates realm, but another son of Mithridates, Vologases IV of Parthia Vologases IV , eventually came to the throne after the death of Vologases III in 147. s start s hou Arsacid Empire Arsacid dynasty ? ? s bef before Parthamaspates of Parthia Parthamaspates s ttl title List of kings of Persia Great King Shah of Parthia years 116 AD s aft after Osroes I of Parthia Osroes I end References Dio Cassius , lxviii, 17&ndash 33.
