Sulpicius also used the assemblies to eject Senators from the Senate until there were not enough senators needed to ...

Mithridates was the son of Mithridates V of Pontus, called Euergetes. Mithridates spent much of his early career as a fugitive. To clear his path to the throne of the kingdom of Pontus, he killed off many of his brothers, but not his sister, Laodice, whom he married. He was ambitious, and sought to invade a number of neighbours, including Bithynia, which brought him into conflict with the expanding Roman Republic during its later years. After conquering western Anatolia in 88 BC, Mithridates ordered the killing of all Romans living th ...
