Abgar IX
King of Osroene from 212 to 213
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abgar IX Severus was king of Osroene.
Abgar succeeded his father, Abgar VIII in 212. In 213 Abgar IX and his son were summoned to Rome and murdered at the orders of emperor Caracalla.[1][a] With the capture of the king, Caracalla annexed large parts of the kingdom to the already existing Roman province of Osrhoene. Whether the kingdom of Osrhoene continued to exist as a rump state in the following decades is a matter of debate.[3]
