| | The Asiatics possessed money; and the ordinary Roman, whose characteristic faults were greed and cruelty, shrank from no crime in order to enrich himself quickly during his short tenure of office in the richest region of the world. | | | The relation of the Christian organisation in Asia to the Commune, or rather to the tendency towards consolidation which took an Imperial form in the Commune, is brought out in striking relief by several facts. | | | Again Christianity in Asia expressed itself in Greek, not in any of the native languages. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire |
| | The coast lands of Asia Minor are thoroughly Greek. | | | This is the first appearance of the two foes who were slowly but surely to bring about the destruction of the empire, and the worst feature of their case was that the Greeks themselves prepared the way for their future destroyers. | | | Again and again was the Byzantine Empire de facto reduced to the limits of the capital city, which Anastasius had transformed into an unrivaled fortress; and often, too, was the victory over its foes gained by troops before whose ferocity its own citizens trembled. |

| | Chapter 9: The Flavian Persecution in the Province of Asia as Depicted in the Apocalypse | | | It is simply that straightforward enunciation of the rule as to the kind of trial that should be given to those who were accused of Christianity. | | | A recent writer on this subject expresses doubt as to "the degree to which the worship of the Emperor had become the normal test applied to one accused of being a Christian." How any doubt can remain in face of this passage, even were it alone, it is hard to see. |

| | Marius had defeated some of their tribes (the Teutones and the Cimbri), but in Caesar's days it was probably not a gross exaggeration to say that the states of Gaul would have to become Roman or would be overrun by Germans, who would proceed to attack Italy. | | | Caesar ordered ships to be built, and spent some time in Italy, where he met Pompey and Crassus in Lucca: the triumvirs decided to continue their conspiracy against the Roman Republic and agreed that Caesar's generalship in Gaul would be prolonged until 50, December 31. | | | It had believed that the issue was between a rebel and the legitimate rulers, and had expected that the towns of Italy would send troops in defence of the authority of the Senate and the Roman People's liberties. |

| | "Asia" in the books of the Maccabees refers to Asia Minor, which Antiochus III (the Great) had to give up when the Romans, under Manius Glabrio crushed his army in 191 BCE at the historic battle site of Thermopylae. | | | In 133 BC, Attalus III, king of Pergamon, having no heirs to succeed him, bequeathed his kingdom to Rome, and after some hesitation the Roman province of Asia Proconsularis was formed, embracing the regions of Mysia, Lydia, Caria, and Phrygia. | | | The Roman province of Asia was the administrative unit added to the late Republic, a Senatorial province governed by a proconsul who was an ex- consul, an honor granted only to Asia and the other rich province of Africa. |
