Who was Mithridates, king of Pontus?

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

 

Mithridates, the older of two sons, was only eleven when his father was assassinated in 120. His mother Laodice then ruled as regent, favoring her younger son, until around 113 Mithridates (aged about eighteen) managed to oust them both and assert sole, personal control. His next concern was to raise both his personal standing, and that of his kingdom, which he did dramatically over the next few years by bringing the Crimea and the northern shores of the Black Sea under his control.He also pressed further and more aggressively than any of his predecessors into Paphlagonia and Cappadocia, eventually even making his eight-year old son nominal king of Cappadocia.

The career of the Roman army’s officers

By law officeholders possessed considerable powers of self assertion, and, if they sought popular support, there was little to restrain them. Tribunes, moreover, possessed formidable powers to act, as well as to block the actions of others, should they wish to exercise this authority. From the late 150s, a few tribunes become notably more active. In 151, for example, following popular resistance to a consular levy of soldiers for Spain, tribunes imprisoned the consul when he ignored their vetoes.
