Pontus (King Mithridates)</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is a little bit more obscure, but this is Ariarathes IX Eusebes Philopator, who was one of the sons of Mithridates VI. In 101 BC, Mithridates installed Ariarathes as the King of Cappadocia when he was just 8 years old.&nbsp; He was mostly a puppet ruler during that time, and was deposed by the Romans in 96 B.C. His dad managed to get him reinstated as king, but he was booted out of power by the Romans again in 89 BC, and died in battle two years later.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959042[/ATTACH]</p><p>Kings of Cappadocia.
