Banadaspus was king of the Iazyges from an unknown date until 174AD. He was overthrown by his people after attempting to make a peace deal with the Roman Empire. Zanticus succeeded him as king of the Iazyges.
The name is recorded in Greek as ÃÂñýñôñÃÂÃÂÿà(Banadaspos) by Dio Cassius. It is reconstructed as *Wanadasp, deriving from the Sarmatian language, and means âÂÂpossessing winning/conquering horses.âÂÂ
