King Kamnaskires IV and Queen Anzaze were rulers of the Elymais kingdom, an ancient civilization located in the southwestern part of present-day Iran.

He expanded the kingdom's territory, strengthened its economy, and promoted the arts and sciences.

In the 3rd century CE, the Elymais kingdom was conquered by the Sassanid Empire, and its culture and traditions were gradually assimilated into Persian society. Nevertheless, the legacy of Kamnaskires IV and Queen Anzaze endured, and their reign is remembered as a time of greatness and achievement for the people of Elymais.
