Cinna or Kinna was a town of ancient Galatia. [1] It was known as Zallara in the Hittite period. It was also the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [2]
Its site is located near Karahamzılı, Asiatic Turkey. [3] [4] [5] The exact location of Cinna is now lost though it is thought to have been near village of Balyk Koyounji (vilayet of Angora) in a rich corn-growing area, west of Ankara. [6] [7] It is also thought to be in the locations of Cihanbeyli or Kulu. [8] [9]
During the Late Roman Empire the town was a seat of a bishop, several of whom are known to us. [10]
