Abdagases I.

Abdagases I was an Indo- Parthian king who ruled around 50 to 65.

Abdagases I was the nephew of his predecessor Gondophares. On his coins, of which is known only to its existence, it will be titled as Ruling over kings, it was concluded that the central authority was slowly lost its power and the ruler had to share with other kings, though he was still recognized as the head. Under Abdagases I. Gandhara was lost to the Kushan ruler Vima Takto.

Maybe I Abdagases was related to the mentioned by Tacitus, originating from the Parthian nobles Abdagaeses House Suren, who together with his son Sinnaces 35-36 AD, the Parthian king Tiridates III counter. had supported against Artabanus II. However, this assumed relationship relationship is uncertain. It is also not possible to determine whether Abdagases I was with the same name mentioned by Josephus, commander of Artabanus II identical.

Abdagases ' successor was probably Satavastres.
