Mithradates VI of Pontos (120–63 BC), Mithradates the Great, expanded his kingdom across Anatolia and the Black Sea, opposing Rome as a champion of Greek freedom. He launched the Mithradatic Wars and orchestrated the Asiatic Vespers massacre of Romans and Italians. After successes against Sulla and Lucullus, Pompey defeated him. Betrayed by his son, he failed to die by poison and ordered his own execution. He is remembered for mithridatium and resistance to Rome.
