Orodes V.
Orodes V was a king of Elymais known only from his coins. The often poorly written legends in Aramaic refer to him as King Orodes (wrwd MLK '). On the back of the coins there is a picture of Artemis . For stylistic reasons, the coins are dated to the end of the second or the beginning of the third century AD. In research there is no agreement on the number of rulers with the name Orodes who ruled in Elymais, so that this regent also called Orodes III. referred to as.
