What does Mithridates Rex Ponticus mean?
Mithridates VI was a king of a region on the southern coast of the Black Sea called Pontus. He had an extreme fear of being poisoned and developed immunity to various poisons by taking very small doses of these poisons. When he was preparing to attack Rome, his son Pharnaces II overthrew him and took over the army, and in response, he tried to commit suicide to protect his honor. However, he couldn't poison himself because his immunity was too high, so he had his personal body guard stab him. (This is why the practice of taking small doses of poisons to become immune to them is called mithridatism.)Rex is a Latin term meaning "king [of]"Ponticus is a male Latin name for the region Mithridates ruled over, Pontus. The name Pontus comes from the Greek word Πόντος Pόntos "sea."Thus, Mithridates Rex Ponticus translates as "Mithridates King of Pontus" or "King Mithridates of Pontus."

The Roman presence in the area started in 74 BC when the kingdom of Bithynia (in north-western Turkey) was bequeathed to Rome by its last king, Nicomedes IV.

The coastal part of this kingdom was joined with Bithynia to form the Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus. Its inland part was merged with Galatia, which became a client state as a result of the mentioned war.On the European coast, Thrace (south-eastern Bulgaria, north-eastern Greece and European Turkey) became a client-sate in 20 BC during the reign of Augustus.

Moesia (which included northern Bulgaria to the coast and the part of Romania between the lower Danube and the coast) was annexed in 29 BC during the reign of Augustus.
