Julia Domna, Augusta, 194 - 8 April 217 A.D., Elaia, Aiolis
|Aeolis|, |Julia| |Domna,| |Augusta,| |194| |-| |8| |April| |217| |A.D.,| |Elaia,| |Aiolis|, Elaea was the ancient port for Pergamum, located near the modern town of Zeytindag, Izmir Province, Turkey. During the Hellenistic period, Elaia was under the control of Alexander the Great, Lysimachus, Seleucids and Attalids respectively. Travelers coming to Pergamum by sea, would land at Elaea. One of the passages of Livy shows that there was a small hill near Elaea, and that the town was in a plain and walled. Elaea was damaged by an earthquake in the reign of Trajan, at the same time that Pitane suffered. The ruins of the silted port's breakwater can be seen on satellite photos.
