Lebedos, Ionia, 133 - 80 B.C.
|Other| |Ionia|, |Lebedos,| |Ionia,| |133| |-| |80| |B.C.|, Centered a small peninsula south of Smyrna and 22.2 km west of Colophon, Lebedos flourished thanks to its commerce and its famous mineral springs. It was, however, one of the smaller cities of the Ionian League, handicapped by limited space and a poor port. Antigonus I Monophthalmus unsuccessfully tried to join the city with Teos. In 292 B.C., Lysimachus moved its population to Ephesus. Lebedos recovered and, under Roman rule, it flourished anew, and celebrated festivals in honor of Dionysus. Its scanty remains are near the modern town of Seferihisar.
