Stratonicea (Lydia)
Stratonicea – () also transliterated as Stratoniceia and Stratonikeia, earlier Indi, and later for a time Hadrianapolis – was an ancient city in the valley of the Caicus river, between Germe and Acrasus, in Lydia, Anatolia; its site is currently near the village of Siledik, in the district of Kırkağaç, Manisa Province, in the Aegean Region of Turkey. Description The foundation of the city dates from the Hellenistic period, probably on the site of an older settlement, ''Indi''. One source names Eumenes II as the founder, who named the city after his wife, Stratonice. However, as several Seleucid leaders also had wives named "Stratonice", the identification of the actual founder is not unchallenged.

By 130 BC, Thyatira had annexed the city which had become merely a village. Stratonicea regained importance dur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
