This volume publishes 33 papers from an international conference held at Anadolu University in Eskisehir in November 2015. It is arranged in two parts-‘From Midas to Christianity’ and ‘From Region to Sites’-plus an introduction. The first part is more general, opening with six papers that touch on various aspects of Midas, moving on through the Achaemenid to Byzantine periods, linguistics, onomastics and epigraphy, borders, pottery and architecture. The second part focuses on individual regions and sites (such as Aizanoi, Bogazkoy, Kerkenes, Dorylaion, Midas City, Pessinus) from the Early Bronze Age to the Roman Period, including ethnic composition, the cult of Cybele and recent results. The introduction examines recent scholarship on Phrygia and the problems it faces.
