Trajan, 25 January 98 - 8 or 9 August 117 A.D., Nakrasa, Lydia
|Nacrasa|, |Trajan,| |25| |January| |98| |-| |8| |or| |9| |August| |117| |A.D.,| |Nakrasa,| |Lydia|, When the Romans entered the capital Sardis in 133 B.C., Lydia, as the other western parts of the Attalid legacy, became part of the province of Asia, a very rich Roman province, worthy of a governor with the high rank of proconsul. The whole west of Asia Minor had Jewish colonies very early, and Christianity was also soon present there. Acts of the Apostles 16:14-15 mentions the baptism of a merchant woman called "Lydia" from Thyatira, known as Lydia of Thyatira. Christianity spread rapidly during the 3rd century A.D., based on the nearby Exarchate of Ephesus.
