Tiberius Julius Pharsanzes
Also known as Pharzanses
Pharsanzes (), also known as Farsanza, was the king of the Bosporan Kingdom, a Roman client state, from 253 to 254. Virtually no historical information is known of Pharsanzes's reign on account of the king only being known from coinage. His reign overlaps completely with the reign of Rhescuporis V (). As a result, Pharsanzes is most frequently believed to have been a rival claimant or usurper, though some researchers believe he was a co-ruler granted power by Rhescuporis V.

== Biography == Pharsanzes is known only from coinage and as a result, little historical information is known of his reign. The origin of his name is disputed and it has been variously interpreted as of Iranian (Sarmatian-Alan, perhaps meaning "Power of Farn") or Gothic roots. His coins are comparatively rarer than coins of most other Bosporan kings.
