"Existing from the early third century BC to 63 BC, the Mithridatic kingdom of Pontos
was one of the most powerful entities in the Mediterranean world. Under a series of
vigorous kings and queens, it expanded from a fortress in the mountainous territory
of northern Asia Minor to rule almost all the Black Sea perimeter. This is the first
study in English of this kingdom in its entirety, from its origins under King Mithridates
I around 280 BC until its last and greatest king, the erudite and cultured Mithridates
VI the Great, fell victim to the expanding ambitions of the Roman Republic in 63 BC.
Through a series of astute marriage alliances (one of which produced the ancestors
of Cleopatra of Egypt), political acumen, and military ability, the Pontic rulers
(most of whom were named Mithridates) dominated the culture and politics of the Black
Sea region for over 200 years. There is a thorough exploration of the internal dynamics
of the kingdom as well as its relations with the rest of the Mediterranean world,
especially the ever-expanding Roman Republic"
