Pharnaces II
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
Pharnaces II , d. 47 BC, king of Pontus, son of Mithradates VI . In the Roman civil war he overran Colchis and central Asia Minor. Julius Caesar came from Egypt and defeated (47 BC) him at Zela—with such ease that Caesar informed the senate with the words "Veni, vidi, vici" [I came, I saw, I conquered]. Pharnaces was killed soon afterward in a revolt.
