Attambelos V of Characene was a ruler of the state of Characene who ruled from 64/65–73/74 but who is known only from the coins he minted.Daniel T Potts, Araby the Blest: Studies in Arabian Archaeology (Museum Tusculanum Press, 1988) p 141.
Attambelos was a first century ruler if not outright king, of the state of Characene,Richard Nelson Frye, The History of Ancient Iran(C.H.Beck, 1984) p277.E. Yarshater, The Cambridge History of Iran, Cambridge University Press page 487 centered on the northern end of the Persian Gulf. His capital was probably Charax.
He ruled from 64 to 73 and was the successor of Attambelos IV, but his rule is known only from coins he minted.Monika Schuol: Die Charakene. Ein mesopotamisches Königreich in hellenistisch-parthischer Zeit, Stuttgart 2000, p. 220-221, 300-303 The king list of Characene is a modern construct and given the known scarcity of records could well be inaccurate.
