	Paphlagonia - LoveToKnow 1911
		PAPHLAGONIA, an ancient district of Asia Minor, situated 40n the Euxine Sea between Bithynia and Pontus, separated from Galatia by a prolongation to the east of the Bithynian Olympus.
		Pompey united the coast districts of Paphlagonia with the province of Bithynia, but left the interior of the country under the native princes, until the dynasty became extinct and the whole country was incorporated in the Roman empire.
		Under the Roman Empire Paphlagonia, with the greater part of Pontus, was united into one province with Bithynia, as we find to have been the case in the time of the younger Pliny; but the name was still retained by geographers, though its boundaries are not distinctly defined by Ptolemy.

		Pompey united the coastal districts of Paphlagonia, along with the greater part of Pontus, with the Roman province of Bithynia, but left the interior of the country under the native princes, until the dynasty became extinct and the whole country was incorporated into the Roman Empire.

		The at present poorly studied region of Paphlagonia during the Achaemenid period consisted of several rival chiefdoms occupying the mountainous valleys extending from the verdant Pontic coast in the north to the sparser Anatolian plateau in the south.

		The human geography of Paphlagonia during the Achaemenid period is complex and entangled in the tendentious scholarship on the process of Greek colonization in the Pontos Euxeinos.
