Ariobarzanes III Eusebes Philoromaios of Cappadocia

Ariobarzanes III Eusebes Philoromaios of Cappadocia

Ariobarzanes III, named Eusebes Philoromanus ("Latin: Eusebes, lover of Rome"), was the king of Cappadocia from ca. 51 BCE until 42 BCE. The Roman senate agreed that he was to be his father's succesor, and Cicero, governor of Cilicia, noted that he was surrounded by enemies which included his mother. Originally highly supportive of Pompey despite the cost, he was maintained in his position after Julius Caesar won the civil war in Rome, even gaining territory with the addition of Lesser Armenia. The liberator Cassius Longinus had him executed in 42 BCE because he would not allow more Roman intervention in his kingdom.
