Miletos Turkey

Miletus, near Soke, a town in the Aydin Province, gained independence in 38 BC. With the help of Roman emperors. Many remains of Miletus, which with such imperial support grew into a metropolis among the Ionian cities, still exist.

Miletus was originally a port city, but over time the Buyuk Menderes River has deposited a large amount of alluvial soil, so the site is now inland.
