Ariamnes of Cappadocia

Ariamnes of Cappadocia

Ariamnes II (in Greek Aριάμνης; ruled 280–262 or 230 BC), ruler and king of Cappadocia, succeeded his father Ariarathes II. He was very fond of his children, and shared his crown with his son Ariarathes III (262 or 255–220 BC) in his life-time. He was probably the first to obtain the independence of Cappadocia from the Seleucid Empire.rf|1|diod_31.3
