Mithridates III of Pontus
Mithridates III
was the
fourth
King of
Pontus
, son of
Mithridates II of Pontus
and
Laodice
. Mithridates had two sisters who were
Laodice III
the first wife of the
Seleucid King
Antiochus III the Great
and
Laodice of Pontus
. He may have ruled in an uncertain period between 220 BC and 183 BC. Nothing is known of him since the years just cited, because the kingdom of Pontus disappears from history. His same existence is contested by certain historians, even if it is necessary to account for
Appian
's indication of
Mithridates VI of Pontus
as the eighth king of the dynasty and the sixth of the name. Mithridates married an obscure Seleucid Princess called
Laodice
. By his wife, he had three children:
Mithridates IV of Pontus
,
Pharnaces I of Pontus
and
Laodice
.
