| Additional information |
Pylaemenes III ruled Paphlagonia as a client of Rome following the collapse of Attalid Pergamon in 133 BC, when Rome inherited the region through the will of Attalus III. His epithet Euergetes — "Benefactor" — was a common honorific among Hellenistic dynasts, but in his case it may reflect deliberate alignment with Roman patronage rather than any popular civic gesture. The dynasty would survive only until Nicomedes IV bequeathed Bithynia to Rome in 74 BC, after which Paphlagonian autonomy effectively ended.
