What did the Roman republic do to end the threat of King Mithridates?
ChuckSiata
The Romans fought three Mithridatic Wars (88-84 BC, 83-81 BC and 75-63 BC) against Mithridates VI of Pontus.
In the first one, Mithridates invaded Cappadocia (in eastern present day Turkey) and the Roman province of Asia (in western Turkey) where he slaughtered the local Romans. He established a foothold in Greece, and incited several Greek states to rebel against the Romans in Greece and its allied state, Bithynia (in northwestern Turkey). In the ensuing war Rome won. Many Greek cities rebelled against Mithridates. Mithridates had to withdraw, but was allowed to retain this kingdom of Pontus.
The second war was started by a Roman General stationed in the area (Lucius Licinius Murena) on his own accord, claiming that Mithridates was threatened the Roman province of Asia. There were just skirmishes and Murena suffered a defeat. Rome ordered the restoration of peace.
The third war followed the bequest of the kingdom of Bithynia to Rome by its last king of Pontus. Mithridates had allied with Sertorius, a Roman general who led a rebellion in Spain against Lucius Cornelius Sulla's rival political faction. Mithridates invaded Bithynia while Rome was busy in Spain. The mentioned rebellion ended the following year, releasing Roman troops for this war. Mithridates made an alliance with Tigranes, the king of Armenia. Rome had to fight against both kingdoms, but won the war. Pontus and Armenia were turned into client states.
