Everything about Archelaus Of Cappadocia totally explained
Archelaus IV (in
Greek ο Αρχέλαος, flourished
1st century BC &
1st century, died
17) was the last King of
Cappadocia. He was the great-grandson of
Archelaus, a general in the
First and
Third Mithridatic Wars.
In
36 BC, Archelaus was made king by triumvir
Mark Antony, whom, however, he deserted after the
Battle of Actium. Archelaus had succeeded King
Ariarathes X.
Roman Emperor Augustus enlarged his kingdom by the addition of part of
Cilicia and Lesser Armenia. He wasn't popular with his subjects, who even brought an accusation against him in
Rome on which occasion he was defended by Roman Emperor
Tiberius.
After
8 BC, Archelaus had married Queen
Pythodorida of Pontus and became a step-father to her three children from her first marriage. Pythodorida remained married to Archelaus until he died and they'd no children. Pythodorida then later returned to Pontus with her family.
Subsequently he was accused by Tiberius, when emperor, of endeavouring to stir up a revolution, and died in confinement in Rome. Cappadocia was then made a
Roman province. Archelaus was said to have been the author of a geographical work, and to have written treatises
On Stones and
Rivers.
