Killed in battle by Aradashir, his son-in-law. This defeat by the Sassanians marks the official end of the Parthian empire

Vologases VI, son of the previous king, succeeded him (209-222), and his throne was contested from 213 by another prince, Artabanus V (213-224), who was able to maintain himself thanks to the support of the kingdom of Media (Table 1). A new invasion of Mesopotamia took place under Caracalla, the casus belli being the refusal of Artabanus V to give Caracalla his daughter in marriage. The young Roman emperor dreamed of rebuilding Alexander's empire but succeeded only in the pillage of Media and the destruction at Arbela of the hypogea of the Arsacid kings, whose bones he scattered.

The Parthian reply was harsh. Artabanus V avenged himself by invading the Roman provinces and destroying several cities. Rome sued for peace. Artabanus' conditions were too hard and were refused. Hostilities were taken up again and turned in favor of the Parthians, who obtained such a success that the emperor Macrinus paid 200,000,000 sesterces to make peace.
