No-one? It is an ancient ruler, if that helps.

No idea at all. This one needs a clue to start off with.

I would like to get more of the newer members involved, so I think we need to limit ourselves to more of the identifiable rulers. Or at least with some of the more difficult ones like this one to give a clue at the outset. At least until folks get the hang of the game.

3rd century, within the influence sphere of the Roman Empire.

Closer to Rome but not that far from the Sasanids either.

Btw, the other day I wondered if there could be more than one ruler active to be guessed at.
Might reduce the 'dead' periods but on the other hand could be confusing - any thoughts?

One final hint:

The Kingdom of this ruler was a client Kingdom of the Romans and was not long after his reign the place of a major confrontation between the Romans and the Sassanids.

Someone else needs to take this one, I really don't know, though it's probably going to turn out to be an easy one.

Guess-The-Emperor-Revised-Again

It's the other half of the coin with the odd Gordian III picture.

According to Sear(GIC)#5746 it is Abgar X (242-244) of the Kingdom of Osrhoene (or Edessa).
(But a review of the history points to XI as the right number.)

Over to you, time to go to bed here.
