<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herodotus, post: 4755866, member: 111387&quot;]Thanks for your help and the additional information here.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s my understanding that the few decades after the rule of Mithradates II have been &#039;coined&#039; as the &quot;Parthian Dark Age&quot; due to the lack of complete records of the events during this period.&nbsp; Most of what is known is from numismatic references.</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I gather, is that Megalou stands for &#039;great&#039;, and that Arsakou is an homage to Arsaces I(much in the way that Roman emperors adopted the name of Augustus).</p><p><br /></p><p>If not Mithradates II (as I&#039;m almost certain), it&#039;s got to be one of the three; Gotarzes I, Mithradates III or Orodes I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
