After Greece, the Romans conquered the kingdom of Pontus, in northeastern Turkey. The king of Pontus, Mithridates IV, waged wars against Rome, the Three Mithridatic Wars (88-84 BC, 83-81 BC, and 75-63 BC). With his final defeat Pontus was annexed.

King Attalus III of Pergamon bequeathed his kingdom (in western Turkey) to Rome in 133 BC. King Nicomedes IV of Bithynia, bequeathed is kingdom (in northwestern Turkey) to Rome in 74 BC, during the Third Mithridatic War. Thus Rome acquired lands in Turkey without conquest before defeating Pontus. Pergamon was turned into the Roman province of Asia in 133 BC and Bithynia and Pontus were merged into the Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus in 64 BC.
