Attambelos III of Characene was a king of Characene who ruled from approximately 37/38 to 44/45AD.Richard Nelson Frye, The History of Ancient Iran(C.H.Beck, 1984) p277.Daniel T. Potts, Araby the Blest: Studies in Arabian Archaeology (Museum Tusculanum Press, 1988) p 141. His rule is known only by the coins he minted.Coins of Attambelos III, wildwinds.com.Monika Schuol: Die Charakene. Ein mesopotamisches Königreich in hellenistisch-parthischer Zeit, Stuttgart 2000, p. 220-221, 300-303 . The presence of these coins as far afield as Oman and southern Arabia indicates that his rule saw a time of extensive trade.Daniel T. Potts, Araby the Blest: Studies in Arabian Archaeology (Museum Tusculanum Press, 1988) p153.
He was succeeded by Theonesios II.
