NICAEA, or NICE

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 640 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICAEA, or NICE [mod. Isnik, i.e. Eis NucaiavI an ancient town of
Asia
 
Minor
 , in Bithynia, on the Lake Ascania. Antigonus built the city (316 B.C. ?) on an old deserted site, and soon after-wards Lysimachus changed its name from Antigonia to Nicaea, calling it after his wife. Under the Roman empire Nicaea and
Nicomedia
  disputed the title of metropolis of Bithynia. Strabo describes the ancient Nicaea as built regularly, in the form of a square, with a gate in the middle of each side. From a,
monument
  in the centre of the city all the four gates were visible at the extremities of
great
 
cross
 -streets. After
Constantinople
  became the
capital
  of the empire Nicaea grew in importance, and after the conquest of
Constantinople
  by the Crusaders became the temporary seat of the Byzantine emperor; the
double
  line of walls with the Roman gates is still well preserved. The possession of the city was long disputed between the Greeks and the Turks. It remained an important city for some time after its final incorporation in the Ottoman empire; but became subsequently an insignificant
village
 .
