History

Pre-Roman

Haldia's history dating back to the pre Roman era. It is known that Haldia hosted many cultures and tribes before Roman Empire such as Hittites, Celts and Chalybesians. They are mostly known as barbaric people and they were Polytheists. Because of the tribal life and lack of discipline, they were going to be defenceless against the Roman invasions.

Kingdom of Pontus

Before the Roman Invasions, Persians and Macedonians were having a great war. Therefore a noble Persian soldier called Mithridates took a fortress near Haldia and he united the people living there. While he was uniting the people they declared him as king. Thus he founded the Kingdom of Pontus. But when the Romans came to Anatolia, Kingdom of Pontus choosed their side with the Romans rather than the Persians and became a client.

Mithridetes VI

However Pontus was a powerful nation and reign. The most powerful and successful king was Mithridates VI. When Romans wanted to annex Pontus, Mithridates started a war with the Roman Empire, and he defeated the three famous Roman general in the Mithridatic War. But later on, one of those three generals, Pompey defeated him in Pontus, he fled to the northern lands across the Black sea. He was hoping that he could raise a new army there but his own son and some nobles rebelled against him. Therefore he commanded to his bodyguard to kill him with his sword and thus he committed suicide. His son wasn't successful as his father and on 62 AD, Kingdom of Pontus joined to the Roman Empire.
