History
The Diocese of Pontus was a diocese of the later Roman Empire. It was established in 314. Justinian would abolish the diocese in 535/6, only to re-establish it in 548. This diocese would continue to function until it was replaced by the themata of Armeniakon and Opsikion in the seventh century.
