Oh hey. Mithridates killed a Roman official for starting the war. By pouring molten gold down his throat.
Better save that one for some adult fiction seriesβ¦

It is said that Mithridates VI was struck by lightning as a baby, which burned his clothes but left him unharmed except for a mark on his forehead.
Where have I heard that one before?

My wife did not have to ask how frequently I think about the Roman Empire. She knows.

@Renegade_GDI
I am not sure I am following you.Of course, there have always been vonnections between #AsiaMinor and #Asua proper, too.
The way #Sogdia changed hands repeatedly since the times of #Cyrus the Great are a prime example of that*, this does not weaken the argument that there are thousands of years of joint cultural exchanges (and armed conflicts) between #AsiaMinor and #Europe.

...conquests had nothing to do with the relations between #Europe and #AsiaMinor (present-day #TΓΌrkiye.)
The #Greeks, on the other hand, settled all along #AsiaMinor's coastline, and therefore there is a strong cultural connection b/w the two continents (and let's not forget the empires that the #Macedonian genius, #Alexander the Great, left as an inheritance...)

Thank-you for pointing this out, @Renegade_GDI.
I knew this comment would come. I am taking a strictly geographic point of view, though, not an ethnological.
The #Greeks settled the Mediterranean and #BlackSea coastlines, starting in the 8th century BCE, thus truly milennia.
I will add #AsiaMinor in the text to avoid confusion.

... inflation rate of over 40% and a mounting debt, as well as the need for imports, this is just wishful thinking by #TΓΌrkiye.
That said, what must be done given the millennia of joint cultural ties + history b/w #AsiaMinor + #Europe is to proceed in high-gear with #EU #membership talks in earnest on both sides.
It is true that #Eastern Turkey is not the same culturally as the #Mediterranean border region. The #Kurdish question is unresolved, but so was (and...
