Owner Comments:

Mithridates II is considered the greatest of the Parthian kings, under whom the empire reached its greatest extent. He was known as "the Great" even in ancient times and was self-identified as "King of Kings". He recovered Babylonia, conquered Mesopotamia and then Armenia where he took hostage a youthful Tigranes who was to become Tigranes the Great.
