Aperlae
Aperlae (or Aperlæ) () was a city on the southern coast of ancient Lycia and former notable bishopric, now a Latin Catholic titular see. It did not play any significant role in history or politics, yet its lifespan of 1,300 years is worth note. Harsh terrain made it difficult to survive, but like other towns along the coast, it thrived on the production of Tyrian dye.
== Location and name ==
The town's position is fixed by the Stadiasmus 60 stadia west of Somena, and 64 stadia west of Andriace. Leake (''Asia Minor'', p. 188) supposes Somena to be the ''Simena'' of Pliny (v. 27). Aperlae, which is written in the text of Claudius Ptolemy ''Aperrae'', and in Pliny ''Apyrae'', is proved to be a genuine name by an inscription found by Cockerell, at the head of Hassar bay, with the ethnic name Ἀπερλειτων on it. But there are also coins of Gordian with the ethnic name Ἀπερραιτων. The confusion between the "l" and the "r" in the name of a small place is nothing remarkable.
