LANDSCAPE DYNAMICS AND SETTLEMENT PATTERNS IN N...

After his victory over Mithradates VI the Roman general Pompey founded a number of cities in
order to shape the newly founded Roman province in the inland of the conquered former Pontic
kingdom  in the southern Black Sea region. This sparked the beginning of an intense process of
urban and rural development peaking in the 2nd century AD and continuing until the Byzantine
period  a level of intensity never accomplished in northern Anatolia until today. The
reorganization of space through the development of new urban centers affected the whole region
and transformed the territory. This volume reviews current knowledge regarding these new
founded Roman cities in relation to their territories  necropoleis and sanctuaries. It consists
of 18 articles  which explore dynamics in settlement patterns  architecture  urban and mortuary
spaces  monetary circulation and epigraphic habit. Some articles present the results of recent
field research  others review little known material ripe for new interpretations  while new
archaeological data is provided by the reports of rescue excavations carried out by local
museums.
