Pontic Athens

Pontic Athens

Pontic Athens or Pontic Athenæ was a city on the shore of the Black Sea mentioned by the ancient historian Arrian in his 2nd century "Periplus Ponti Euxini". There is some debate over whether it was simply a local city with a temple to Athena as Arrian mentioned or if it was a Pontic colony of the Greek city of Athens. [citation
