Summary/Abstract: The rule of Pharnaces II has much fewer written evidences than the reign of his father Mithridates VI. However, the numismatic material allowed us to illuminate the circumstances that allowed him to take the title of “great king of kings”, and to determine the administrative structure of the Bosporus Kingdom during his reign. North-Eastern Black Sea region during this period was a conglomerate of royal possessions, quasi-autonomous city-states and the Hellenized peoples united by the power of “the great king of kings”.
