Arsaces was the second son and youngest child born to King Pharnaces II of Pontus. In 37 BC his brother Darius died and Arsaces succeeded his brother as King of Pontus.
Both Darius and Arsaces were mere client kings, put on the throne by Marcus Antonius with no real power.
His reign as king was short, as Arsaces died later in 37 BC or even perhaps in 36 BC. He was replaced by the non-dynastic king Polemon I.
