Pharnaces of Pontus, without waiting for the …
Years: 181BCE - 181BCE
Pharnaces of Pontus, without waiting for the return of his ambassadors, decides in the spring of 181 to attack both Eumenes and Ariarathes IV of Cappadocia and therefore invades Galatia with a large force.
Eumenes, allied with Prusias II Cynegus, who had succeeded his father Prusias as king of Bithynia on the latter’s death in 182, leads an army to oppose him, however, hostilities are soon suspended following the arrival of Roman deputies, who have been appointed by the Roman Senate to inquire into the matters in dispute.
Negotiations take place at Pergamon but are inconclusive, with Pharnaces' demands being rejected by the Romans as unreasonable.
As a consequence, the war between Pontus and Pergamon and her allies is renewed.
