Acrassus or Akrassos ( Ancient Greek: Ἄκρασος) was an ancient Roman and Byzantine-era city in Lydia (modern Turkey). [1] [2] [3] [4] in the Roman province of Asia and Lydia. [5] [6] Apparently, it is the same place that Ptolemy calls Nacrasa or Nakrasa ( Ancient Greek: Νάκρασα), placed on the road from Thyatira to Pergamum. [7] [8] [9]
It was in the upper valley of the Caicus River, at or near İlyaslar, [10] but its exact site is not located. [11]
Acrassus minted its own coins. [12]
