Sculptures of the heads of the Kings of Commagene on Mount Nemrud in Turkey (formerly part of the Parthian kingdom).
In the 1st century, Antiochos III of Commagene (12 BC – 17 AD) was a Zoroastrian king, whose mother was a princess of the Atropatene Kingdom.
The Parthian rulers, followers of Zoroastrianism, received a magus (meaning wise) education and bore the title of magus themselves. “Numerous classical texts reveal that the King received a comprehensive magus education and was designated a magus during both the Sassanian and Parthian eras.” G. Widengren, “Religions of Iran.”
