Amadocus II


Amadocus was a ruler in Thrace, who inherited in conjunction with Berisades and Cersobleptes the dominions of Cotys, on the death of the latter in 358 BC. The area controlled by Amadocus was west of the river Hebrus and north of Maroneia. It is likely that the fortified residence of a Thracian ruler on Kozi Gramadi Peak above the village of Starosel belonged to him.
When Cersobleptes negotiated with Philip II of Macedonia for a combined attack on the Chersonese, Amadocus refused to allow Philip passage through his territory, in consequence of which the scheme came to nothing.
Both Amadocus and Cersobleptes appear to have been subjected by Philip early in 347, not long after Cetriporis, the son and successor of Berisades, suffered the same fate.
Amadocus might have had a son of the same name. His successor, however, appears to have been Teres II.
