Because that part of Asia was considered the smaller, or minor, part of the continent.
The Romans conquered Greece in Greece itself. The conquest of mainland Greece occurred in 146 BC. In 146 BC they defeated Macedon (the largest state which covered about 1/3 of Greece) in the fourth Macedonian War. In 146 BC they annexed it to their empire. In the same year the Achaean league, an alliance of city-states in the Peloponnese Peninsula in southern Greece rose against the Romans and were defeated. As a result, the rest of Greece was also annexed.
