MITHRIDA´TIUM
MITHRIDA´TIUM (
Μιθριδάτιον), a fortress of the Trocmi, situated on the frontiers of Galatia and Pontus.
After the subjugation of Pontus by the Romans, Pompey took Mithridatium from Pontus,
[p. 2.363]and gave it to a Galatian prince Bogodiatarus, or Brogitarus, as he is called on coins. (
