Mithridates of Pergamum

Person

The Alexandrian narrative praises Mithridates of Pergamum as Caesar’s loyal ally and credits him with raising reinforcements, taking Pelusium and defeating an Egyptian attack in the Delta. Its final settlement awards him the kingdom of Bosphorus and a Gallograecian tetrarchy. The same chapter distinguishes him from the earlier king Mithridates who fostered him; royal upbringing is not a demonstrated claim of paternity.
