At the same time Cyrene, which had been already bequeathed to the Romans in 658, was at length constituted a province, and a Roman governor was sent thither . These measures, in connection with the attacks carried out about the same time against the pirates on the south coast of Asia Minor, must have excited apprehensions in the king; the annexation of Bithynia in particular made the Romans immediate neighbours of the Pontic kingdom; and this, it may be presumed, turned the scale.
