Orodes II (c. 100–150 AD) ruled Elymais in southwestern Persia during the Parthian period. The kingdom remained semi-independent under Arsacid influence, centered on Susa and the surrounding lowlands of Khuzestan. Orodes’ coinage preserves distinctive Elymaean symbols such as the anchor, crescent and local divine imagery, reflecting a regional identity that endured between the Parthian and Sasanian worlds.
