Treaty of Dardanos

Treaty of Dardanos

The Treaty of Dardanos (85 BC) was a treaty between Rome and Pontus signed between Lucius Cornelius Sulla of Rome, and King Mithridates of Pontus. It ended the First Mithridatic War.

After the defeats of Mithridates by Sulla in the battles of Chaeronea, Orchomenus, and the sea battle of Tenedos; as well as Sulla forcing the islands of Greece to submit to Rome, the political tension in Rome during the Social Wars caused Sulla to demand terms from Mithridates. The treaty was held at the ruined city of Dardnus to negotiate the final terms of surrender.

The terms were that Mithridates must surrender his newly conquered territories on the Greek mainland and islands, as well as the provinces of Bithynia, Phrygia, Paphlagonia, and Cappadocia. As well, Mithridates must pay the amount of two thousand talents from his personal wealth. Sulla also condemned the provinces which Mithridates surrendered to pay an additional twenty thousand talents (equivalent to the export production for two decades).
