Zariadres

Zariadres was a King of Sophene.

In 201 BC Antiochus III the Great conquers Greater Armenia and Sophene with his Armenian generals(strategoi) Artaxias and Zariadres. Antiochus appointed Zariadres as satrap of Sophene. Following the defeat of Antiochus by the Romans at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, Artaxias and Zariadres revolted and, with Roman consent, began to reign autonomously; Artaxias over Greater Armenia and Zariadres over Sophene.
