Talk:Battle of Zela

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is it just me or is this article biased against Pharnaces? For one, he did not kill his father. His father succumbed to a coup that was barely started by Pharnaces. Mithridates poisoned himself. Mithridates also did not commit "various attrocities" against the Romans, he slaughtered the Roman population of one city but aside from that he only sieged cities and fought wars against the Romans. He was just a king and general. Also why is there no battle box about the location and date? This is a significant battle, because it helped Caesar's ascention to power and also ended the Pontic kingdom and the bloodline of Mithridates the Great. 70.179.107.205 20:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
