Historical background


PARTHIAN KINGDOM - MITHRIDATES III

(57-54 BC)

Mithridates III is the eldest son of Phraates III and the brother of Orodes II. The two brothers got rid of their father by having him assassinated, creating a precedent that was to be repeated in Arsacid history. The two brothers quickly fell out and the younger had the elder murdered in front of him..
