The Kingdom of Pontus was founded in 281 BC by the Mithridatic dynasty from Persia, and lasted until its conquest by the Roman Republic in 64 BC.
Pontus is sometimes considered as the home of the Amazons, with the name Amazon used not only for a city (Amasya) but for all of Pontus in Greek mythology.
