Abdsamiya
Ruler of Mesopotamian kingdom of Hatra from c. 180 to c. 205 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abdsamiya (Hatran Aramaic: 𐣯𐣡𐣣𐣮𐣬𐣩𐣠) was a king of Hatra,[1] an ancient city and kingdom in ancient Mesopotamia. He reigned from about AD 180 to 205. Abdsamiya was the son of king Sanatruq I and the father of Sanatruq II. Abdsamiya is known from eight inscriptions found at Hatra. One of them reports the building of a porticus for the king and is dated to year 504 of the Seleucid era (AD 192/93). Another inscription appears on a statue and is dated to AD 201/202. Abdsamiya is most likely also mentioned by Herodian (3.1.3),[2] where he is named as Barsemias,[1] there he is reported to have supported Pescennius Niger against Septimius Severus in AD 192.[2][3]
