Mithridates II (Persian: مهرداد Mehrdād [meɦrˈdɔːd]; Gift of Mithras) was king of Parthian Empire from 123 to 88 BC. He was already known as the Great in antiquity. He is the first Parthian ruler to call himself King of Kings on his coinage and thereby attach himself to the Achaemenids. He also referred to himself on his coinage with the Greek titles Epiphanes (God manifest) and Philellenos (Friend of the Greeks).
