Historical background
BITHYNIA - BITHYNIAN KINGDOM - PRUSIAS I
(228-185 BC)
Prusias I, the son of Ziaelas (255-228 BC), grandson of Nicomedes I (279-255 BC) is certainly one of the greatest Bithynian monarchs. He succeeded in maintaining his kingdom in a difficult period in the face of Seleucid hegemony. He married one of the daughters of Philip V of Macedon, Apama. He died fighting Eumenes II of Pergamum (19-160 BC). His son, Prusias II (185-149 BC) succeeded him..
