Strabo’s ›Cappadociae‹ (12. 1–3 C 533–563)

This book offers an introduction, translation, and historical commentary on Strabo’s Geography 12.1–3 C 533–563, centred on Cappadocia and Pontus, two key regions of Rome’s presence in Anatolia. Cappadocia is carefully described, while Pontus is enriched with accounts of the Mithridatic wars. By comparing Strabo with other sources, the volume highlights not only Rome’s view but also the distinctive Greco-Iranian milieu of these kingdoms.
