Adobogiona

Adobogiona

Adobogiona (fl. c. 80-c. 50 BC) was a Celtic Galatian princess.

The daughter of Deiotarus and sister to Brogitarus, princess of the Tolistobogii tribe, she was also cousin to King Deiotarus, a client of Pompey the Great. Adobogiona was married to Menodotus, a wealthy patrician citizen of Pergamum, in Asia Minor. Their son Mithridates of Pergamum was a friend and ally of Julius Caesar, who appointed him as tetrarch over their Trocmi tribe shortly before his assassination in 44 BC. Adobogiona was honoured by a surviving inscription discovered on the island of Lesbos, and a portrait head of her has been discovered at Pergamum.
