Nicomedia, back in the last years of the third century and the earliest years of the fourth century, was the Roman imperial capital of Diocletian. Diocletian instituted the last "great" Roman persecution of the Christians in 303.

Nicomedia is thus where countless Christian martyrs died

Back then there was all kinds of horrible (for some) news coming out of Nicomedia.

I never imagined that Nicomedia, a.k.a. Izmit, would, in my own lifetime, reenact its former status as death capital of the world.
