Hyrcanis or Hyrkaneis, also known as Hyrcania, was a Roman and Byzantine city and bishopric on the Hyrcanian plain in ancient Lydia, now in western Turkey. It was named for a colony of Hyrcanians settled there by the Persians. Later some Macedonians also settled in the district, which is why they are called "Macedones Hyrcani" by Pliny the Elder and Tacitus. Lydia_50_AD
