Attaea

{{Short description|Ancient city}}

Attaea or Attaia ({{langx|grc|Ἄτταια}}) was a city of Classical Anatolia in the region of the Caicus River or Lycus River. It minted coins inscribed "ΑΤΤΕΑΤΩΝ" from Caracalla's time simultaneously with those who have the legend "ΑΤΤΑΙΤΩΝ." It was also the site of a bishopric and was an important site for early Christianity. Attaea is today a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church in the ecclesiastical province of Ephesus.[https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.com.au&sl=de&u=http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/d4a15.html&usg=ALkJrhgNkdBe2xZZHqCi7ib7CJ97FH4oTQ Attaea] at catholic-hierarchy.org Its site seems to be at Ajasmat köi on the right bank of Ajasmat chaí, {{convert|3|km}} east of the Sunabai shore.{{Cite Pauly|II,2|2154|2155|Attaia 1|Ludwig Bürchner|RE:Attaia 1|}}
