TRALLES (mod. Giizel Hisser)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 159 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRALLES (mod. Giizel Hisser) , an ancient town of
Caria
 ,
Asia
 
Minor
 , situated on the Eudon, a tributary of the Maeander. It was reputed an Argive and Thracian colony, and was long under Persian
rule
 , of which we hear in the history of Dercyllidas' raid from Ephesus in 397 B.C. Fortified and increased by the Seleucids and Pergamenians, who renamed it successively Seleucia and Antiochia, it passed to Rome in 133. Though satirized in a famous line (Juv. Sal. iii. 70) as a remote provincial place, it had many wealthy inhabitants in the Roman period and, to judge by objects discovered there, contained many notable works of art. Two of the best
marble
  heads in the
Constantinople
  museum came from
Tralles
 ; and both in the excavations conducted for that museum by Edhem Bey (1904), and by chance discoveries, .fine-art products have come to light on the site. Rebuilt by Andronicus II. about 128o, it was superseded a few years later, after the Seljuk conquest, by a new town, founded by the amir
Aidin
  in a lower situation (see
AIDIN
 ). (D. G. H.)
