Kamnaskires-Orodes was ruler of the semi-independent Kingdom of Elymais from c. 100-120 AD. He was the son of Orodes II.
The drachmas of Kamnaskires-Orodes show Aramaic inscriptions. Le Rider suggests that the tetradrachms with Aramaic inscriptions were minted at the former Elymaean capital of Seleucia on the Hedyphon, perhaps mainly for internal circulation.
