The region known as Mysia was originally occupied by one of the independent states of Asia Minor. It was taken over by the Greeks and later by the Romans, and incorporated into the Roman province of Asia. Politically Mysia no longer existed in New Testament times, but people still used the old name to refer to the north-west region of Asia Minor. Towns of this region that are mentioned in the New Testament are Troas, Assos and Adramyttium (Acts 16:6-11; Acts 20:6; Acts 20:13-14; Acts 27:2; for map see ASIA).
