Orabazes II.
Orabazes II (ruled approx. 150/51 to 165 AD) was a king of the Charakene .
Orabazes II is only known from his coins. The spelling of the ruler's name varies on them, and some of the legends of his coins are corrupt. Aramaic legends also arise for the first time with a ruler of the Charakene. So far only two coins are known to have a legible date (a date between 151/2 to 155/6 and 156/7 AD). The image of the ruler follows Hellenistic rather than Parthian models.
