This 1979 monograph is the definitive work of Georgian historian Nodar Lomouri on the Kingdom of Pontus, a formidable Hellenistic power that once challenged the supremacy of Rome. Though titled "Part 1," it remains the only volume published, serving as a comprehensive standalone study of the kingdom's rise, zenith, and eventual collapse.
Lomouri synthesizes a vast array of evidence—ancient Greek and Roman texts, archaeological finds, epigraphy, and numismatics—to reconstruct the socio-political fabric of the Black Sea region. The book meticulously traces the lineage of the Mithridatic dynasty, culminating in the legendary Mithridates VI Eupator.
Crucially for regional scholarship, Lomouri provides an in-depth analysis of the ethnic composition of Pontus and a dedicated chapter on its diplomatic and cultural ties with the ancient Georgian states (Colchis and Iberia). The work explores the synthesis of Persian and Greek cultures that defined the Pontic identity. Complete with genealogical tables and comprehensive indexes, this "Metsniereba" edition is a cornerstone for any library focused on Hellenistic history, Asia Minor, or the classical history of the Caucasus.
