Short Description: "Rhoemetalces III (Greek: Ῥoιμητάλκης) was a King of the Thracians. He was the son of the Monarch Rhescuporis II. In association with his cousin-wife Pythodoris II, 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 her brother Rhoemetalces II.

Rhoemetalces III was murdered in 46, by insurgents or on the orders of his wife. The subsequent fate of Pythodoris II is unknown; it seems he didn't 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." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
