Manisarus

King Manisarus (died c. 115 AD) was a 2nd-century king of the Corduene, which was a small vassal state during the Roman Empire.^[1][2] He has also been described as "perhaps prince of the Praetavi, whose capital was Singara".^[3] During his rule he took control over parts of Armenia and Mesopotamia, and Osroes I of Parthia declared war on him. Manisarus petitioned the Roman Emperor Trajan, offering him territory taken from supporters of Osroes in return for his support, an offer which was evidently accepted.^[4] Trajan also acquired the kingdom of Corduene at this time but only temporarily.^[5]
