Years: 90BCE - 90BCE
Mithridates VI mounts a first attempt to depose Nicomedes IV of Bithynia, who is completely subservient to the Romans.
There is nothing known about Nicomedes IV's birth or the years before he became king.
However, his reign began at the death of his father.
The first few years of his kingship had been relatively peaceful, but soon Mithridates (his maternal granduncle), had begun harassing Bithynia's borders.
Nicomedes’ brother, Socrates Chrestus, assisted by Mithridates, defeats Nicomedes’ army in 90 BCE, and Nicomedes is forced to flee to Italy.
He is restored to his throne due to Rome's influence in the region.
