Pharnaces, following his defeat in the Battle …
Years: 47BCE - 47BCE
Pharnaces, following his defeat in the Battle of Zela, manages to assemble a small force of Scythian and Sarmatian troops, with which he is able to gain control of a few cities.
His former governor and son-in-law Asander attacks his forces and kills him.
(The historian Appian states that he died in battle; Cassius Dio says he was captured and then killed.)
Caesar makes Mithridates of Pergamon king of the Bosporan Kingdom, by commanding him to declare war on his niece Dynamis and her husband Asander (who are now the ruling monarchs) to keep the kingship for himself.
Dynamis and Asander are defeated by Mithridates and his army, and Mithridates becomes the Bosporan king.
