Cappadocian Kingdom, Ariobarzanes I Philoromaios, 96 - 63 B.C.
|Cappadocian| |Kingdom|, |Cappadocian| |Kingdom,| |Ariobarzanes| |I| |Philoromaios,| |96| |-| |63| |B.C.|, Ariobarzanes I was a Cappadocian nobleman of obscure Persian descent. After the Roman Senate rejected the claims of Ariarathes IX, he was made king through a vote of Cappadocian citizens and with the support of the Roman consul Lucius Cornelius Sulla. He ruled a kingdom that was a Roman protectorate but was removed three separate times by Mithridates before not only securing but actually increasing his lands under Pompey in the Third Mithridatic War. He abdicated to make way for the rule of his son Ariobarzanes II.
