Farnabazu II (Greek:Pharnabazus) coinage, Achaemenid prince, general and politician of the Achaemenid Empire and the Satrap of Hellespont Phrygia, in office from 413 to 374 BC.
He was part of the Pharnacid Persian dynasty, who ruled the satrapy of Hellespont Phrygia. Unfortunately, After the conquests of Alexander III of Macedon, several women of the Pharnacid family, all daughters of Artabazos II, were forced to marry Alexandrine commanders.
Thus they mixed race of Persian nobles with their Macedonian race, and it became a reason for the annihilation of the Achaemenids at the hands of barefoot Macedonians.
