About Rhoemetalces III
Rhoemetalces III was a sovereign.
Rhoemetalces III was a king of the Sapaean Thracians. He was the son of Rhescuporis II. In association with his wife Pythodoris II, (daughter of his cousin Cotys III), they were client rulers of the Sapaean kingdom of Thrace under the Romans from AD 38 to 46, in succession to Pythodoris' mother Tryphaena and Pythodoris' brother Rhoemetalces II.
Rhoemetalces III was murdered in 44 AD. The subsequent fate of Pythodoris II is unknown; it seems he did not have any children with his cousin. Thrace became incorporated into the Roman Empire as a province.
Remetalk Point on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after him.
