Phraates I Life story
Phraates I of Parthia was ruler of the Parthian Empire from ca. 176–171 BC. He subdued the Amardians, mountaineers occupying the eastern portion of the Elburz range, south of the Caspian Sea. He died relatively young, and appointed as his successor not one of his sons, but his brother Mithridates I.
