Ariobarzanes I Philoromaios of Cappadocia

Ariobarzanes I Philoromaios of Cappadocia

Ariobarzanes I, named Philiromaios ("Greek: lover of Rome"), was the king of Cappadocia from 95 BCE to ca. 63 or 62 BCE. Originally put in place by the people of Cappadocia after the Roman senate rejected the claims of Ariarathes IX and supported by the Roman consul Sulla, he was in control on and off of a kingdom that was considered a Roman protectorate. He was removed three separate times by Tigranes II of Armenia before not only securing but actually increasing his lands under Pompey in the Third Mithridatic War. He eventually abdicated, making way for the rule of his son Ariobarzanes II Philopator in ca. 63 or 62 BCE.
