"Mithridates or Mithradates VI (/ˌmɪθrɪˈdeɪtiːz/ or /ˌmɪθrəˈdeɪtiːz/; Greek: Μιθραδάτης; 135–63 BC), also known as Mithradates the Great (Megas) and Eupator Dionysius, was king of Pontus and Armenia Minor in northern Anatolia from about 120–63 BC. Mithridates is remembered as one of the Roman Republic’s most formidable and successful enemies, who engaged three of the prominent generals from the late Roman Republic in the Mithridatic Wars: Sulla, Lucullus and Pompey. He has been called the greatest ruler of the Kingdom of Pontus." - (en.wikipedia.org 13.06.2020)
