Mithradates VI, or Mithradates the Great, ruled Pontus from 120 to 63 BCE. Known for his ambition and resistance to Roman domination, he expanded his kingdom significantly, extending control across the Black Sea region and parts of Asia Minor. His reign is most notable for the Mithridatic Wars, three major conflicts with Rome. In the First War (89–85 BCE), he orchestrated the massacre of Roman citizens in Asia Minor, known as the Asiatic Vespers, and briefly controlled much of Greece before being defeated by Sulla. The Second War (83–81 BCE) was less decisive, but the Third War (75–63 BCE) saw Mithradates face Roman generals Lucullus and Pompey. Ultimately, he was defeated by Pompey and fled, dying in 63 BCE, possibly by suicide. Renowned for his intelligence and resilience, Mithradates pursued alliances and cultivated a reputation as a champion against Rome, but his ambitions led to his kingdom's fall and greater Roman dominance in the region.
