Anzaze

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
coin: Kamnaskires and Anzaze

Anzaze was a queen of the Elymais (a Parthian vassal kingdom in what is now Iran).[1][2] She appears on coins together with king Kamnaskires III (about 82/81 BC to 75. BC following dates on the coins).[2][3] They perhaps ruled together as on the coins she is called βασιλίσσης (the Genitive case of queen - βασίλισσα [basílissa]).[4][5] Furthermore it was not common on ancient coins that kings and queens appear together, again supporting her special status.
