Gordos

Gordus or Gordos (Ancient Greek: Γόρδος), also known as Julia Gordus or Iulia Gordos, and possibly also known as Porotta, was an ancient Greek city located in eastern Lydia (modern western Turkey). It was a strategically important town founded by the Seleucid Kings. The Julio-Claudian emperors of the Roman Empire renamed the city Julia Gordos in the 1st century and the city minted its own coins.
