Abstract

This study discusses temples belonging to gods of Persian and Anatolian origin in the Pontic Kingdom, which are distinguished from other temples because of their self-governing capabilities. These temples have sometimes been called “temple states” because they were self-governing units with their own authority, territories and revenues. There has been controversy over the issue of finding a proper term for these entities in Anatolia and they have been identified as both states and estates. The aim of this paper will be to introduce these structures and to offer possible explanations regarding their nature and function within the Hellenistic Kingdom of Mithridates.
