SUMMARY
Akalissos is a city in eastern Lycia and was probably built before the Greeks arrived in Lycia. The limited information available about the history of the city, mainly inscriptions and some monuments, concerns the Roman Imperial years. At the time the city was the centre of a federal state (‘sympolity’) belonging to the Koinon of Lycia and minted its own coinage. The city was still inhabited in the Early Christian period. |
