Phrygia
Phrygia was a region of west-central Anatolia, named after the Phrygians, who formed a kingdom there in the early first millennium BCE with its capital at Gordion and kings such as Midas. After the Cimmerian invasions it came under Lydian, Persian, Hellenistic and then Roman rule. Greater Phrygia, the inland part, was briefly granted to Mithridates V of Pontus by Rome in the late second century BCE.
