- Abstract
Bursa region was settled by various Thracian tribes ever since the ancient times. According to the well known geographer Strabon Bursa region was settled by the one of the Thracian tribes called Bithyns. After that time the region was called Bithynia because of this Thracian tribe. They were incorporated by king Croesus within the Lydian monarchy, with which they fell under the dominion of Persia (546 BC), and were included in the satrapy of Phrygia. But even before the conquest by Alexander the Bithynians appear to have asserted their independence, and successfully maintained it under the prince Zipoites. He assumed the title of king in 297 BC. But the last king, Nicomedes IV, was unable to maintain himself against Mithridates VI of Pontus, and, after being restored to his throne by the Roman Senate, he bequeathed his kingdom by will to the Roman republic (74 BC). In ancient times several major cities sat on the Prusa region: Cius, Apamea and Nicaea.
