Characene Kingdom.

Theonesios III of Characene was a king of Characene who ruled from approximately 52AD.[1][2] His rule is known only by the coins he minted.[3]

The distribution of his coinage through the region indicates his rule was one of extensive trade.[4]

He was succeeded by Attambelos IV.
