Rhadamsades (Greek: Τιβέριος Ἰούλιος Ραδαμσάδης, romanizedTiberios Ioulios Radamsades), also known as Radamsad,[1] Rhadamsadius or Rhadampsadius,[2] was the king of the Bosporan Kingdom, a Roman client state, from 309 to 322. For the last five years of his reign he ruled together with Rhescuporis VI, who became the sole king upon Rhadamsades's death. It is possible that Rhadamsades, perhaps of Sarmatian or Alan origin, is the same person as Rausimod, a barbarian king who invaded Pannonia in 322 and was killed by the forces of Constantine the Great.
