Schythia Minor was in ancient times the region sorrounded by Danube at north and west and the Black Sea at east, corresponding to today's Dobrogea (in Romania).

History

Inhabited initally by Scythians, then by Dacians and Celts, around the 7th century, several Greek colonies are built on the Black Sea shore. Conquered by the Roman Empire, it passes to the Byzantine Empire, but lost in the Middle Ages to the migrating peoples.
