Adobogiona (fl. c. 70 BC – c. 30 BC) was an illegitimate daughter of King Mithridates VI of Pontus. Her mother was the Galatian princess Adobogiona the Elder.[1] After the death of her father, Adobogiona married the noble Castor Saecondarius, tetrach of all Galatians from 41/40 to 37/36 BC.[2] Their son Deiotarus Philadelphus became the last king of Paphlagonia at some point before 31 BC and ruled until his death around AD 6.[3]
