Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VONONES (on coins ONONES) , the name of two
Parthian
  kings.
(r) VONONES I., eldest son of Phraates IV. After the assassination of Orodes II. (c. A.D. 7), the Parthians applied to
Augustus
  for a new king from the
house
  of
Arsaces
 .
Augustus
  sent them Vonones (Hon. Ana. 5, 9; Tac. Ann. ii. r f.; Joseph. Ant. xviii. 2, 4), who was living as a
hostage
  in Rome. But Vonones could not maintain himself; he had been educated as a Roman, and was despised as a slave of the Romans. Another member of the Arsacid
house
 , Artabanus IL, who was living among the Dahan nomads, was invited to the throne, and defeated and expelled Vonones. The coins of Vonones (who always uses his proper name) date from A.D. 8-12, those of Artabanus II. begin in A.D. 10. Vonones fled into Armenia and became king here. But Artabanus demanded his deposition, and as Augustus did not wish to begin a war with the Parthians he removed Vonones into Syria, where he was kept in custody (Tac. Ann. ii. 4). When he tried to escape, A.D. 19, he was killed by his
guards
  (Tac. Ann. ii. 58, 68).
(2) VONONES II.,
governor
  of Media, was raised to the throne after the death of
Gotarzes
  in A.D. 51 (perhaps he was his brother, cf. Joseph. Ant. xx. 3, 4). But he died after a few months, and was succeeded by his son Vologaeses I. (Tac. Ann. xii. 14). (ED. M.)
