Nicomedes had made himself master of Paphlagonia …
Years: 95BCE - 95BCE
Nicomedes had made himself master of Paphlagonia for a time.
After the deaths of his first wife and father-in-law, in order to have a claim on Cappadocia, Nicomedes had married his former mother-in-law as his second wife Laodice, who had fled to him when King Mithridates VI of Pontus (Laodice’s first brother) endeavored to annex the country.
With Laodice's two sons Ariarathes VII and Ariarathes VIII dead, Nicomedes III brings forward an impostor as a claimant to the throne; but the plot is detected.
The Roman Senate refuses to recognize the claim, and requires Nicomedes III to give up all pretensions to Cappadocia and to abandon Paphlagonia.
