Tralles (Phrygia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tralles (Ancient Greek: Τράλλης) or Tralleis (Τράλλεις) was a town of ancient Phrygia, on the west of Apamea, and 15 miles east of Hierapolis not far from the banks of the Maeander.[1][2]

William Smith accepts that the ruins near Kuslar are the site of Tralles, but modern scholars leave the town as unlocated.[3]
