Historical background
CAPPADOCIA - CAPPADOCIAN KINGDOM - ARIOBARZANES Ier PHILOROMAIOS
(95-63 BC)
Ariobarzanes I was elected in 95 BC, his candidacy having been supported by the Romans. Cappadocia was occupied by the troops of Mithridates VI of Pontus and his son Ariarathes IX (101-87 BC) and the king often had to abandon his capital. Having also had to fight Tigranes, king of Armenia, he abdicated in favor of his son in 63 BC..
