After Greece, the Romans conquered the kingdom of Pontus, in northeastern Turkey. The king of Pontus, Mithridates IV, waged wars against Rome, the Three Mithridatic Wars (88-84 BC, 83-81 BC, and 75-63 BC). With his final defeat Pontus was annexed.

King Attalus III of Pergamon bequeathed his kingdom (in western Turkey) to Rome in 133 BC. King Nicomedes IV of Bithynia, bequeathed is kingdom (in northwestern Turkey) to Rome in 74 BC, during the Third Mithridatic War. Thus Rome acquired lands in Turkey without conquest before defeating Pontus. Pergamon was turned into the Roman province of Asia in 133 BC and Bithynia and Pontus were merged into the Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus in 64 BC.

There was no Switzerland as a country when Romans invaded the territory... remember, the roman empire existed from some hundred years B.C. to about 476 A.D. or something... and Switzerland was founded 1291 A.D.

Romans just wanted to expand their territory... and as they had inner political problems it seemed nice to say the Helvetians (an ancient German tribe) were bloody killers and had to be extinguished... but there is a link, of course... Switzerland's official name in latin is confoederatio helvetica (Swiss or helvetic confederation) pointing to the cultural roots (in some parts) of its nowadays territory.

In one letter to the Emperor Trajan - I'm afraid I don't have a reference - Pling speaks about the Christians. He mentions how they are spreading across Bithynia, and the measures he has taken to eradicate the problem. Pliny is quite leniant - whilst he will execute any who are Christians, he also offers them every chance to denounce their religion and embrace the Roman pantheon, at which point they get a full pardon. He also refuses to act on reports of Christianity (such as a list that had surfaced), instead only charging those who openly admit that they are Christians.

I think the only Roman writer around the time to directly mention Jesus was Tacitus, who speaks about the Christians supposedly responsible for the fire of Rome to worship someone called 'Christus'.

It is not clear whether Constantine the Great (Flavius Valerius Constantinus) a full Roman or a half Roman and half Bithynian. He was born in Naissus (present day Nis, southern Serbia) in the Roman province of Dardania which was in the Roman Diocese of Moesia (the Balkan Peninsula west of the river Danube and north Greece). His father Constantius Chlorus (Marcus Flavius Valerius Constantius) was a Roman native of Dardania. Very little is known about the early life of his mother Helena (or St Helena). It was said that she was a Bithynian woman of low social standing. Bithynia was an area in north-western Turkey which was part of the Roman province of Bithynia and Pontus. The sources do not clarify whether she was a Roman of a Bithynian. It probably did not matter because by then Bithynia was thoroughly Latinised. Her name was Flavia Iulia Helena. It is not clear whether Flavia was derived from her having married into the Flavia clan. It is not even clear whether she was married to Constantius. Some sources claimed that she was Constanius' wife, some claim that she was a stable-maid, while others claim that she was a concubine.

The areas Pontus Exinus (the Black Sea) were annexed by the Romans at different times. The Roman presence in the area started in 74 BC when the kingdom of Bithynia (in north-western Turkey) was bequeathed to Rome by its last king, Nicomedes IV. The rest of the Turkish coast of this sea was annexed in 63 BC when Pompey the Great won the Third Mithridatic War (73-63 BC) against Mithridates VI, the king of Pontus (in north-eastern) Turkey. The coastal part of this kingdom was joined with Bithynia to form the Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus. Its inland part was merged with Galatia, which became a client state as a result of the mentioned war.

On the European coast, Thrace (south-eastern Bulgaria, north-eastern Greece and European Turkey) became a client-sate in 20 BC during the reign of Augustus. It was annexed as a Roman province in 46 AD by Claudius. Moesia (which included northern Bulgaria to the coast and the part of Romania between the lower Danube and the coast) was annexed in 29 BC during the reign of Augustus. Dacia (Romania except the mentioned part and Moldova) was conquered by Trajan in the second of the two Dacian Wars in 105-06 AD.

The Romans fought three Mithridatic Wars (88-84 BC, 83-81 BC and 75-63 BC) against Mithridates VI of Pontus.

In the first one, Mithridates invaded Cappadocia (in eastern present day Turkey) and the Roman province of Asia (in western Turkey) where he slaughtered the local Romans. He established a foothold in Greece, and incited several Greek states to rebel against the Romans in Greece and its allied state, Bithynia (in northwestern Turkey). In the ensuing war Rome won. Many Greek cities rebelled against Mithridates. Mithridates had to withdraw, but was allowed to retain this kingdom of Pontus.

The second war was started by a Roman General stationed in the area (Lucius Licinius Murena) on his own accord, claiming that Mithridates was threatened the Roman province of Asia. There were just skirmishes and Murena suffered a defeat. Rome ordered the restoration of peace.

The third war followed the bequest of the kingdom of Bithynia to Rome by its last king of Pontus. Mithridates had allied with Sertorius, a Roman general who led a rebellion in Spain against Lucius Cornelius Sulla's rival political faction. Mithridates invaded Bithynia while Rome was busy in Spain. The mentioned rebellion ended the following year, releasing Roman troops for this war. Mithridates made an alliance with Tigranes, the king of Armenia. Rome had to fight against both kingdoms, but won the war. Pontus and Armenia were turned into client states.

Yes. It was not one country, but several provinces of the Roman Empire.

These included:

Aeolis, Ionia, Doris, Caria, Lycia, Lydia, Bithynia, Paphlagonia, Pontus, Cappadocia, Lycaonia, Cicilia, Pamphylia and Thrace, as well as Galatia.

In many of these areas the apostle Paul had established Christian Churches. We know of at least one of these Churches with whom he communicated - the Church in Galatia, a letter to which can be found in the New Testament.

Rome gained indirect control over western and central Anatolia in 188 B.C., after her victory against the Seleucid Empire in the Roman-Seleucid War (also known as the War of Antiochus, 192-188 B.C.). The Romans were supported by their allied Greek states, Pergamon and Rhodes and with non-military support by the Achaean league and Macedon (also Greek states). Rome won the Battle of Thermopylae in Greece) and, together with Pergamon, in 191 B.C. and the Battle of Magnesia (near present day Manisa and Izmir, on Turkeys western coast) in 190 B.C. Rome and Rhodes won two naval battles, both in 190 B.C. With the treaty of Apamea of 188 B.C., Rome gave Caria and Lycia (on the coastal area of south-western Turkey) to Rhodes. She gave Mysia, Phrygia, Pisidia and Lydia (inland in western Anatolia), Pamphylia (on the southern coast) Phrygia and Lycaonia (in central Turkey) to Pergamon. In 189 B.C. the consul Gnaeus Manlius Vulso, aided by Pergamon, conducted a campaign against Galatia, in central Anatolia. The Galatians were defeated and sued for peace and Galatia became a Roman ally. Vulso acted without the consent of the senate and justified his actions by presenting it as retaliation for the Galatians fighting alongside the Seleucids during the war. He was reproached for not consulting the senate and was accused of endangering peace with the Seleucids. Cappadocia, also in central Anatolia, switched their alliance from the Seleucids to Rome. In

168 B.C. Rome separated the Lycian League (a federation of Lycian cities) from Rome and granted self-rule because of mistreatment by Rhodes.

In 133 B.C. Attalus III, the king of Pergamon died and bequeathed his kingdom to the Romans. The kingdom of Pergamon became the Roman province of Asia. In 74 B.C. Nicomedes IV, the king of Bithynia bequeathed his kingdom to Rome. In 73-63 B.C. the Romans fought the Third Mithridatic War against Mithridates VI of Pontus and Tigranes the Great of Armenia. The Romans won the war and annexed the western part of Pontus to Bithynia, which became the Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus. It covered the western and central part of the northern coast of Anatolia.

If you mean the Galatia in the Bible, it was in what is now the country of Turkey. Galatia was an area in the highlands of central Anatolia (now Turkey). It was bounded on the north by Bithynia and Paphlagonia, on the east by Pontus, on the south by Lycaonia and Cappadocia, and on the west by the remainder of Phrygia. Galatia was originally home of the ancient civilization of the Hittites, but came to be occupied by Gallic Celts in the 3rd century BC, hence Galatia, or "Gallia of the East."

Hannibal was the son of Hamilcar, a general who led the Carthaginian forces in the last phases of the First Punic War and later conquered southern Spain, which became a territorial possession of his family.

Hannibal was said to have provoked the Second Punic War by refusing to negotiate with the Romans after he seized a Spanish city which was a Roman ally. He invaded Italy, but could not attack Rome because he lost his siege machines while crossing the Alps in the snowy winter. He routed the armies of the Romans and their allies twice, once in northern Italy and once in central Italy. However, instead of heading for Rome he went to the south where he routed the Romans again at the battle of Cannae in what was one of the two worse defeats in their history. However, after this the Romans managed to regain control of southern Italy and Hannibal spent the last four years of his campaign stuck in the easily defensible mountains of Calabria (the toe of Italy). Finally he was recalled to Africa to fight the Romans who were campaigning there. He was defeated by the Roman general Scipio Africanus in the battle of Zama, the last battle of the war.

After the war Hannibal was elected leader of Carthage. He weakened the power of the council of judges which had become a dictatorial force, fought corruption and the privileges of the aristocracy and restored the economy of Carthage. The aristocracy accused Hannibal of planning an alliance against Rome with Antiochus III of Syria. The Romans set up a commission of inquiry. Hannibal fled to Antiochus's court. He became his military advisor during the Roman-Syrian War. When Antiochus was defeated by Rome Hannibal went to advise the King of Bithynia in western Turkey who was fighting the next door kingdom of Pergamon, which was an ally of Rome. He wan thee battles for Bithynia. However, the Romans coerced the king of Bithynia into handing them Hannibal. Hannibal committed suicide by poisoning himself before this happened.
