CHAPTER XV
Extraordinary Powers given to Pompey--He marches against Mithridates--The King retreats by Night--Pompey overtakes and defeats him--Mithridates again flees to Armenia, and thence to the Scythians--Pompey advances to Colchis--Fights a Battle with the Barbarians--Marches against Tigranes--Tigranes comes to him as a Suppliant--Pompey pardons him, and settles the Affairs of Armenia[97] For this victory, so swiftly and unexpectedly gained, the Romans extolled Pompey beyond measure; and while he was still in Cilicia they chose him commander of the war against Mithridates, giving him the same unlimited powers as before, to make war and peace as he liked, and to proclaim nations friends or enemies according to his own judgment. They gave him command of all the forces
