"On the Integration Process of Pontus in the Roman Empire : Old Theories and New Perspectives on the Pompeian Territorial Organization". This article analyses how Rome definitively integrated the territories of the former kingdoms of Bithynia and Pontus after the Mithridatic wars. The architect was Pompey the Great, the acclaimed conqueror of Mithridates VI Eupator, king of Pontus, who was forced to organize new centers of control and tax collection. To achieve his goal, Pompey urged forced resettlements of local populations, which implied large-scale works and territorial transformations.
