TRAPEZOPOLIS (Ancient city) TURKEY
Trapezopolis (Trapezopolis or Trapezoupolis: Eth. Trapezopolitae),
a town situated, according to Ptolemy (ii. 2. § 18), in Caria, but according to
Socrates (Hist. Eccles. vii. 36) and Hierocles (p. 665), in Phrygia. The former
is the more correct statement, for the town stood on the southern slope of Mount
Cadmus, to the south-east of Antiochia, and, according to the Notitia Imperil,
afterwards belonged to the province of Pacatiana. It is possible that the ruins
which Arundell (Discoveries, ii. p. 147) found at Kesiljah-bouluk may be those
of Trapezopolis.
Trapezopolis is located in Boluduzu location of Bekirler Village of Babadag District of Denizli Province. The archaic city is understood to be established in accordance with the geographical condition of the land on the plain lying from north towards south. The ruins are completely under soil. The ruins on the surface show the characteristics of Roman and Byzantine periods.
