Artabanus V of Parthia
Artabanus V of Parthia, also known as Ardavan V (Parthian: 𐭍𐭐𐭕𐭓), ruled the Parthian Empire (c. 216 – 224). He was the younger son of Vologases V who died in 208.
== Civil war and war with the Romans ==
In 208, Artabanus rebelled against his brother Vologases VI, and soon gained the upper hand, although Vologases VI maintained himself in a part of Babylonia until about 228.〔Percy Sykes, ''History of Persia'', Vol.1, (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1969), 385.〕
The Roman emperor Caracalla, wishing to make use of this civil war for a conquest of the East in imitation of his hero, Alexander the Great, attacked the Parthians in 216. He crossed the Tigris, destroyed the towns and spoiled the tombs of Arbela, but when Artabanus advanced at the head of an army, he retired to Carrhae. There Caracalla was murdered by Martialis on April 8, 217. Caracalla's successor, the Praetorian Prefect of the Guard Macrinus, was defeated at Nisibis and concluded a peace with Artabanus, in which he gave up all the Roman conquests, restored the booty, and paid a heavy contribution to the Parthians.〔Michael Axworthy, ''A History of Iran: Empire of the Mind'', (Basic Books, 2008), 43.〕
In Susa was found a stela, showing the king and the satrap Khwasak. The stela dates to year 215 and demonstrated that the city was at that time part of the Parthian empire. There are indications that it was before independent.
