Monaeses (nobleman)

Monaeses (Greek: Μοναίσης Monaísēs; also spelled Moneses or Monneses) was a Parthian nobleman. In 37 BC, he fled from the Parthian king Phraates IV to the Roman triumvir Mark Antony; however, he reconciled with the Parthian king later and returned to Parthia. In 38 BC, Anthony campaigned against Parthia. Monaeses played a key role in Antony's defeat by attacking his baggage train and siege engines in Atropatene. However, he later had his cousin, Mithradates, to show Antony a route of retreat.[1][2]
