N2  - With Empire of the Black Sea: the Rise and Fall of the Mithridatic World (2020), Duane Roller has published the first English monograph meant to cover the Pontic Kingdom of the Mithradatid dynasty. Although he falls short of presenting an up-to-date bibliography, the book is likely to become an influential reference work. The present chapter aims at closing several of the bibliographical gaps, by surveying recent (and forthcoming) scholarship especially on the kingdom’s history prior to Mithradates VI Eupator. Topics include the Achaemenid ancestry of Mithradates of Kios, the flight of Mithradates I Ktistes to Kimiata, the role of the Galatians in the rise of the kingdom, the historicity of Mithradates III, the wars and diplomacy of Pharnakes I, the putative sibling marriage of Mithradates IV, chronological aspects of the rule of Mithradates V, and the continuity of Mithradatid foreign policies.
