Summary:

Volume 1 of 2. The History of Pontus, was compiled from classical texts and inscriptions. The figures used in these texts have been accepted without discussion but most of these numbers were gross exaggerations.

These figures are derived from a mixture of archaeological evidence. geographical and technological constraints and historical analogies.
