Mithridates IV has treated Alexander II well…

85 BCE

Mithridates IV has treated Alexander II well and even educated him, but the Ptolemid prince, now thirty, flees to Sulla during a battle between the Romans and Mithridates in 85 BCE, when the war is clearly lost.

Mithridates makes peace with Sulla in the Treaty of Dardanus, abandoning his conquests, surrendering his fleet, and paying a heavy fine in exchange for retaining his kingship.

Order is restored in Asia and Greece, and Mithridates again becomes a vassal of the Romans.
