king of See also:Bithynia, 149-91 B.C., See also:fourth in descent from Nicomedes I., was the son of Prusias II. He was so popular with the See also:people that his See also:father sent him to See also:Rome. Here he was so much favoured by the See also:senate that Prusias sent an emissary to Rome with See also:secret orders to assassinate him. But the emissary revealed the See also:plot, and persuaded the See also:prince to See also:rebel against his father. Supported by Attalus II., king of See also:Pergamum, he was completely successful, and ordered his father to be put to See also:death at See also:Nicomedia. During his See also:long reign Nicomedes adhered steadily to the See also:Roman See also:alliance, and assisted them against See also:Aristonicus of Pergamum. He made himself for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

order to have a claim on See also:Cappadocia married Laodice (the widow of Ariarathes VI.), who had fled to him when See also:Mithradates the See also:Great endeavoured to annex the See also:country. When her two sons died, Nicomedes brought forward an impostor as a claimant to the See also:throne; but the plot was detected. The See also:Romans refused to recognize the claim, and required Nicomedes to give up all pretensions to Cappadocia and to abandon Paphlagonia.
