Phraates III Life story
Phraates III succeeded his father Sanatruces and ruled the Parthian Empire from 70 to 57 BC. He was called "the Gold" because of his coins, that were ideal for sailors because they were polished with gold dust, so that people from other countries considered their value higher than their actual value.
