Mithridates III Antiochus Epiphanes (Greek: Μιθριδάτης Ἀντίοχος ὀ Ἐπιφανής, fl. 1st century BC) was a King. The son and successor of King Mithridates II of Commagene and Queen Laodice, he was of Armenian[1] and Greek descent. Mithridates sometime after 30 BC, had married his paternal cousin Iotapa, a Princess of Media and daughter of Artavasdes I of Media Atropatene. Iotapa bore Mithridates a son, Antiochus III of Commagene, and a daughter, Iotapa, who married King Sampsiceramus II of Emesa (modern Homs, Syria). When Mithridates’ father died in 20 BC, he succeeded his father. He reigned as king between 20 BC-12 BC. Very little is known on his life and his reign as King. When he died in 12 BC, Antiochus III of Commagene became king. Antiochus III ruled with another sister called Iotapa whom he married.
