Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CELAENAE , an ancient city of
Phrygia
 , situated on the
great
 
trade
  route to the
East
 . Its
acropolis
 
long
  held out against Alexander in 333 and surrendered to him at last by arrangement. His successor, Eumenes, made it for some time his headquarters, as did Antigonus until 301. From Lysimachus it passed to Seleucus, whose son Antiochus, seeing its geographical importance, refounded it on a more open site as Apamea (q.v.). West of the
acropolis
  were the palace of
Xerxes
