Abdsamiya was a king of Hatra, an ancient city and kingdom in ancient Mesopotamia. He reigned from about AD 180 to 205. Abdsamiya was the son of king Sanatruq I and the father of Sanatruq II. Abdsamiya is known from eight inscriptions found at Hatra. One of them reports the building of a porticus for the king and is dated to year 504 of the Seleucid era. Another inscription appears on a statue and is dated to AD 201/202. Abdsamiya is most likely also mentioned by Herodian (3.1.3), where he is named as Barsemias, there he is reported to have supported Pescennius Niger against Septimius Severus in AD 192.
