Historical background
LYDIA - TRALLES
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Tralles was situated on a plateau dominating the valley of the lower Meander. The city was important and prosperous thanks to its surrounding fertile plains. She took the name of Seleucia for a moment. After the battle of Magnesia in 190 BC it passed from Seleucid domination to that of the kings of Pergamon with the rest of Lydia. It had an important cistophoric coinage. On the death of Attalus III, the city was attached to the new province of Asia and experienced significant development in Roman times thanks to the cult of Zeus Larasios.
