Artabanus

Court official and murderer of King Xerxes · Historical Figures · Died 464 BC

Artabanus of Persia was a Persian political figure during the Achaemenid dynasty who was reportedly the power behind the throne for a few months around 465 BC. Ancient writers sometimes included him as the sixth Persian ruler, but this is almost certainly a mistake.

Artabanus is read about 206 times a day, in 18 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 17 September 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
