Notes

Note 1

In 63 for unknown reasons, the Roman Emperor Nero deposed Cotys I from his throne. Perhaps Nero wanted to minimise the role, power and influence of local client rulers and desired the Bosporan Kingdom to be completely governed by the Roman state. His fate afterwards is unknown. The Bosporan Kingdom was incorporated as a part of the Roman Province of Moesia Inferior from 63-68.
