Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICOMEDES IL , Epiphanes, king of Bithynia, 149-91 B.C., fourth in descent from Nicomedes I., was the son of Prusias II. He was so popular with the
people
  that his father sent him to Rome. Here he was so much favoured by the senate that Prusias sent an emissary to Rome with
secret
  orders to assassinate him. But the emissary revealed the
plot
 , and persuaded the prince to
rebel
  against his father. Supported by Attalus II., king of Pergamum, he was completely successful, and ordered his father to be put to death at
Nicomedia
 . During his
long
  reign Nicomedes adhered steadily to the Roman alliance, and assisted them against Aristonicus of Pergamum. He made himself for a time master of
Paphlagonia
 , and in order to have a claim on Cappadocia married Laodice (the widow of Ariarathes VI.), who had fled to him when
Mithradates
  the
Great
  endeavoured to annex the country. When her two sons died, Nicomedes brought forward an impostor as a claimant to the throne; but the
plot
  was detected. The Romans refused to recognize the claim, and required Nicomedes to give up all pretensions to Cappadocia and to abandon
Paphlagonia
 .
