 | | Mithridates held no position or (known) influence in Egypt, and there is no indication, for example, that the princes received Pontic money or troops, nor is there any clear reason why they should have asked for them. | | | They suggested that doubts arose about his legitimacy in the first place because of publicity about Berenice III, and particularly because she succeeded to the throne and he did not; it being forgotten that he was a hostage in Mithridates' court. | | | This date is very shortly after the kidnapping, at which time Mithridates was fully engaged in warfare in Greece and Asia Minor. |

| | Mithridates VI Eupator of Pontus, |
| | The immediate cause, however, was Mithridates' attempt to replace Ariobarzanes of Cappadocia with his son Ariarathes IX Eusebes. | | | In 69, he crossed the Euphrates, proceeded through Mesopotamia, reached the Upper Tigris valley, defeated his enemies, besieged Tigranes' capital Tigranocerta, and finally took it after what had been -in spite of the fact that Tigranes had been able to escape- one of the most brilliant campaigns in ancient history. | | | However, the king of Pontus, learning that the Romans were now also involved in a civil war against their Italian allies, decided to retaliate, and in 89, war broke out. |

| | The dominions of Mithridates embraced the whole eastern coast of the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus), including the kingdom of Bosporus (Crimea) on the one hand, and Paphlagonia on the other, while the king of Armenia also was closely allied to him by marriage. | | | Meantime Glabrio had shown himself wholly incompetent to conduct the war against Mithridates, and early in B.C. 66, the tribune Gaius Manilius proposed a law extending Pompey's command over the entire East. | | | There were three "Mithridatic Wars." In the First the Romans were commanded by Sulla (88-84 B.C.), who gained great successes, and forced Mithridates to pay a large sum of money. |

| | This coin was probably struck 83-82 BC to help finance the Second Mithridatic War, one in which Mithridates of Pontus again took on Rome. | | | As a tactical hobby Mithridates not only learned numerous languages--22 by one count--but moreover grew famously expert in poisons, as Cowley remarks; having gained an immunity to every known poison, he at last had no choice but to call in a soldier to stab him. | | | His regionalist campaigns against Roman influence included an infamous synchronized slaughter of thousands of Romans abroad--the so-called "Asiatic vespers" of 88 BC--and the challenge of facing him down (which would take another 25 years) helped to weaken the Roman republic and bring Sulla to power. |
