Anzaze

Anzaze was a queen of Elymais. She appears along with Kamnaskires III. (reigned for 82/81 to about 75 BC) on his coins, and was probably his wife. The coins bear the legend ΒΑCΙΛЄΩC ΚΑΜΝΑCΚΙΡΟΥ ΒΑCΙΛΙCCΗC ΑΝΖΑΖΗC ( ancient Greek βασιλέως Καμνασκιρου βασιλίσσης Ἀνζαζης " the king Kamnaskires, Queen Anzaze ").

The representation of a king with his wife else is on coins rarely used ( except for the Egyptian Ptolemaic kingdom ). Therefore Anzaze was perhaps her husband's co-ruler.
