Ariazate

Ariazate (also spelled Aryzate or Aryazate, meaning "Child of an Iranian"),[1][2] also known as Automa,[3] was a Parthian queen consort as the wife of the Parthian monarch Gotarzes I (r. 91–87/80 BC).

She was an Artaxiad princess of Armenia as the daughter of the Artaxiad king Tigranes the Great (r. 95–55 BC).[4]

According to Zoroastrian law, the king could marry several women,[5] all of whom were normally given the Greek title “basilissa” (“queen”), as well as legitimate wives without a title and have sons considered legitimate with the palace slave women and Greek hetaira used to entertain in his banquets, but no hierarchy is known for the queen-wives.

Ariazate was possibly the mother of Gotarze's son and successor Orodes I (r. 87/80–75 BC).[6]
