ARCHELAUS, king of Cappadocia, was grandson of the last named. In 41 B.C. (according to others, 34), he was made king of Cappadocia by Antony, whom, however, he deserted after the battle of Actium. Octavian enlarged his kingdom by the addition of part of Cilicia and Lesser Armenia. He was accused by Tiber ius, when emperor, of stirring up a revolution, and died in con finement at Rome (A.D. 17). Cappadocia was then made a Roman province.
