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. (Strab. xii. p.567; Sestini, p. 129.)
