Darius I of Media Atropatene, also known as Darius I or Darius (ca. 85 BC – ca. 65 BC), was a Median prince who served as a king of Media Atropatene in c. 65 BC.[1] Little is known of the life of Darius I, however he appeared to have succeeded his relative, Mithridates, who served as King of Media Atropatene one year earlier.


Darius I was known during his kingship to have been attacked by the Roman Triumvir Pompey[2] with his army. However, the circumstances that led Pompey to attack Media Atropatene are unknown. Sometime in 65 BC, Darius I appeared to have died. His relative, Ariobarzanes I succeeded him as King of Media Atropatene.
