About Meherdates of Parthia

Meherdates was a Parthian prince who competed against Gotarzes II for the Parthian crown from 49 to 51 AD. A son of Vonones I, he was ultimately defeated and captured by Gotarzes II, who spared him, but had his ears mutilated, an act that disqualified him from inheriting the throne.
