Apollonia (Mysia)
Apollonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνία) was a town of ancient Mysia, Anatolia, situated on an eminence east of Pergamum, on the way to Sardis.[1] It seems to have been near the borders of Mysia and Lydia.
For the town also in Mysia, on the ancient Rhyndacus river, see Apollonia ad Rhyndacum.
