Sometime around 17 A.D., Archelaus was summoned to Rome by Tiberius and was put on trial for abuse of
funds. He died of natural causes before the end of the trial. Strabo is a major source of information on his
kingdom, and Appian refers to him in his chronicles of the Civil War. Tacitus mentions Archelaus, pointing
out that upon his death Cappadocia was converted into a province of the Empire, although his son did rule,
causing a revolt in 36 A.D. among the hill people called the Clitae over taxation.
