Philopator I
Philopator I was the Roman client king of Cilicia briefly in 31–30 BC.
He was a son of Tarcondimotus I, and like his father at first sided with Mark Antony during the civil war between him and Octavian.[1] After Octavian's victory in the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, and his father's death, he quickly changed sides, but Octavian nevertheless deposed him from his kingdom. Nothing further is heard of him, but in 20 BC, Cilicia was restored to his brother, Tarcondimotus II.[1]
