Maeandropolis

Maeandropolis or Maiandroupolis (Ancient Greek: Μαιανδρούπολις), also known as Maeandrus or Maiandros (Μαίανδρος), was a town of ancient Ionia in the territory of Magnesia on the Maeander.[1] Its name reflects association with the Maeander River, on which it was situated. It was a member of the Delian League.[2]

Its site is tentatively located near Söke, Asiatic Turkey.[3][4]
