Historical background
Bithynia lay in north-western Asia Minor between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. Its last king, Nicomedes IV, bequeathed his realm to Rome in 74 BC, which joined it with Pontus as the province of Bithynia et Pontus. Around AD 110 Pliny the Younger governed here; his correspondence with Trajan, including on the Christians, survives. Nicomedia later became Emperor Diocletian's residence.
