Laodike Philadelphos
Laodike Philadelphos was a daughter of Mithridates III. von Pontos and married her brother Mithridates IV of Pontos (ruled 169–150 BC). Laodike is only known from inscriptions on her wedding coins, as well as from an inscription that the Delieres put on her. It is uncertain whether Laodike Philadelphos can be equated with a “Queen Laodice”, whose portrait and name alone (without spouse) were struck on other coins from Pontus.
