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 about 128o, it was superseded a few years later, after the Seljuk See also:conquest, by a new town, founded by the See also:amir See also:Aidin in a See also:lower situation (see AIDIN).
