Ancient Settlements of Anatolia
Anatolia is one of the most densely settled landscapes of the ancient world. From the Aegean coast to the Euphrates, more than a thousand cities, towns, sanctuaries and fortified sites are known from ancient authors, inscriptions and the coins the cities themselves struck. Following the sixteen classical regions used throughout NumisTR, this section brings those places together in one place.
Each settlement page summarises what is known about the site: its history, geographic setting, significance in antiquity, coinage where a mint is attested, and the archaeological remains visible today. Settlements that issued their own coins are marked, so you can move directly from a city to the coins it produced.
