The prosperity of the city, rudely shaken by the Galatians and the Bithynians, was utterly destroyed in the Mithridatic Wars . It was the birthplace of Heraclides Ponticus . The later town was best known for its lignite coal-mines, from which Constantinople received a good part of its supply. REFERENCES |
