Ariamnes of Cappadocia

Ariamnes II (in Greek Ἀριάμνης; ruled 280 BC 262 or 230), was a ruler and king of Cappadocia, who succeeded his father Ariarathes II. He was fond of his children, and shared his crown with his son Ariarathes III (262 or 255 220) in his lifetime. He was probably the first to obtain the independence of Cappadocia from the Seleucid Empire.[1]
