Ariazate

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

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

According to Zoroastrian law, the king could marry several women, 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)).
