Of the details of this war we have no account; and it is even uncertainwhether it fell within the reign of Mithridates II. Or no. Theunfortunate mistake of Justin, whereby he confounded this monarch withMithridates III. , has thrown this portion of the Parthian history intoconfusion, and has made even the successor of Mithridates ...II. Uncertain.
Mithridates II. Probably died about B. C. 89, after a reign whichmust have exceeded thirty-five years. His great successes againstthe Scythians in the earlier portion of his reign were to some extentcounterbalanced by his losses to Tigranes in his old age; but on thewhole he must be regarded as one of the more vigorous and successful ofthe Parthian monarchs, and as combining courage with prudence. It is tohis credit that he saw the advantage of establishing friendly relationswith Rome at a time when an ordinary Oriental monarch might havedespised the distant Republic, and have thought it beneath his dignityto make overtures to so strange and anomalous a power.
