Vologeses VI
Vologeses VI (or V) (flourished 3rd century) was the king of Parthia who reigned from 209 to c. 212.
The son of the Parthian king Vologeses V (or IV), he succeeded his father in 209. Vologeses VI ruled for only about four years before his brother Artabanus V rebelled against him and became master of the greater part of the Parthian empire. But Vologeses VI did manage to maintain himself in parts of Babylonia; his dated coins extend in time to ad 228–229.
