Historical background

PONTUS - PHARNACIA

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The city was founded by Pharnaces I (185-149 AC.), king of Pontus, grandfather of Mithridates VI Eupator, around 180 BC on the site of ancient Cerasus. It was a fortified coastal town. It loses its importance at the time of the Roman conquest.
