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 areas Pontus Exinus (the Black Sea) were annexed by the Romans at different times. 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 rest of the Turkish coast of this sea was annexed in 63 BC when Pompey the Great won the Third Mithridatic War (73-63 BC) against Mithridates VI, the king of Pontus (in north-eastern) Turkey. 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. It was annexed as a Roman province in 46 AD by Claudius. 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. Dacia (Romania except the mentioned part and Moldova) was conquered by Trajan in the second of the two Dacian Wars in 105-06 AD.
Bithynia-Pontus is a historical region located in the northwestern part of modern-day Turkey. It corresponds to the provinces of Bursa and parts of Sakarya, as well as regions along the Black Sea coast. The area was known for its rich history and diverse cultures in ancient times, serving as a significant center of Hellenistic and Roman civilization. Today, it is a blend of urban and rural landscapes with historical sites reflecting its ancient heritage.
it means the black sea
In antiquity the sea was named the Inhospitable Sea because it was difficult to navigate and the shores were occupied by hostile tribes. This name translates into Greek as Pontus Euxinus used from the 5th Century BC
