Mirian II of Iberia
Mirian II (
Mirvan) (
92-
20 BC), from the
Parnavazian dynasty, was king of
Caucasian Iberia in
32-
23 BC.
He was only a 1-year old, when his father King
Farnadjom was dethroned and killed, and his throne given to the
Armenian prince
Arshak. Little Mirian was carried to
Parthia, there to be brought up at the court. Mirian was already 60 years old, when he returned to his country with a
Parthian army and dethroned King
Bartom, descendant of Arshak, and installed himself as king of Iberia in
32 BC.
He was succeeded as king of Iberia by his son
Arshak II.
