Historical background


PARTHIAN KINGDOM - MITHRADATES II

(123-88 BC)

Mithridates II, one of the greatest Parthian kings, is the son of Artabane I (127-124 AC.). He began by restoring Parthian power in Mesopotamia and fixed the border on the Euphrates. He had to continue the fight against the Scythians and made Sakastan a protectorate. He consolidated his position in Asia Minor and intervened in Armenia to maintain the Parthian protectorate. But the last years of his reign were troubled by numerous usurpations. He was eliminated by Gotarzes I (95-80 AC.).
