plutarch also linked the worsening of the piracy problem to war and did so in more specific terms. the third mithridatic war (73–63 bc) against king mithridates vi of pontus (in modern northern turkey) played a part in giving the pirates boldness because piracy lent itself to mithridates’ service. this suggested that mithridates fostered piracy as a means to weaken the romans. plutarch also thought that with the civil wars in rome the romans left the sea unguarded, which gave the pirates the confidence to lay waste islands and coastal cities in addition to attacking ships at sea. piracy spread from its original base in cilicia (on the southern coast of modern turkey). the pirates also seized and ransomed some towns. men of distinction also got involved in piracy. plutarch claimed that pirates had more than 1,000 ships, that they captured 400 towns and plundered temples in greece and sacred and inviolable sanctuaries, listing fourteen of them. he cited the praetors sextilius and bellinus and the daughter of antonius among the important romans who were seized for a ransom. the pirates also mocked their captives if they were romans. piracy spread over the whole of the mediterranean, making it unnavigable and closed to trade. this caused scarcity of provisions.
