Sardis - Sardis (English spelling)

Sardis was the capital of the Lydian Kingdom, located about 86 km east of Izmir (ancient name Smyrna), a city on the west coast of Turkey facing the Aegean Sea. It was the political and economic center of Asia Minor in the 7th to 6th centuries BC. Sardis was destroyed by the invasion of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia in 546 BC, and was captured by Alexander in 334 BC. It was incorporated into the Kingdom of Pergamum in 180 to 130 BC. From 1910 to 1914, American H.C. Butler investigated the Temple of Artemis and over 1,000 tombs from the kingdom period, and since 1958, American G.M.A. Hanfman has excavated a synagogue (Jewish chapel), gymnasium (gymnasium), and stadium (stadium) from the first half of the 3rd century, as well as the remains of buildings believed to belong to a priesthood from around 554 BC in the southwest of these, as well as the remains of Roman-period general housing and baths.
